None of the given options have coastlines and mountain ranges that match up. Coastlines and mountain ranges can be found in multiple continents, but they do not necessarily match up. For example, in Asia, there are mountain ranges like the Himalayas and coastal areas such as the Arabian Sea or South China Sea. Similarly, in North America, there are mountain ranges like the Rocky Mountains and coastal areas such as the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean.
To determine which continents have coastlines and mountain ranges that match up, you can look at their geographical features. One way to do this is by examining the locations of plate boundaries and the resulting formation of mountains and coastlines.
1. Africa and South America: These two continents have coastlines and mountain ranges that match up. The eastern coast of South America lines up with the western coast of Africa, and the Appalachian Mountains in North America connect with the Atlas Mountains in North Africa.
2. North America and South America: Similarly, the western coast of South America aligns with the western coast of North America. The Andes Mountain range in South America corresponds to the Rocky Mountains in North America.
3. Africa and North America: Although Africa and North America have some similarities in their coastlines and mountain ranges, they do not match up as neatly as the previously mentioned pairs. The Appalachian Mountains in North America are geologically linked to the Atlas Mountains in North Africa, but the coastlines do not align perfectly.
4. Asia and Antarctica: Asia and Antarctica do not have coastlines and mountain ranges that match up. Asia is connected to Europe and Africa, while Antarctica is a separate continent located at the South Pole.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Africa and South America.
