Groups:

(a) Continental Drift Theory

,

(b) Plate Tectonic Theory

• Similar rock and fossil evidence have been found in the coastlines at two or more continents.

• Glacier deposits have been found on two or more continents near the equator.

• Convection currents in the mantle move the Earth's crustal plate boundaries

• The Ring of Fire, containing volcanoes and earthquarkes, are caused by movement of the plates.

• The seven continents fit together like a puzzle.

• Magnetic stripping found in seafloor Spreading show a pattern of Earth's magnetic field.

According to Alfred Wegener's Theory of Continental Drift, the continents were once joined together as one giant landmass called Pangaea. What major forms of evidence did Wegener use to support his theory?

Select TWO correct answers.

• The same species of bird is currently found on 2 or more continents.

• Similar rock and fossil evidence have been found on the coastlines of two or more continents.

• Magnetic striping found in seafloor spreading shows a pattern of Earth's magnetic field reversal over time.

• Glacier deposits have been found on two or more continents near the equator.

• Convection currents in the mantle move the Earth's crustal plates, causing plate boundaries to collide, separate, or slide against one another.
