E) all of the choices are correct

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices provide evidence in support of continental drift. Glacial striation patterns can be found on multiple continents that were once joined together. Fossil distribution on different continents can help demonstrate how species may have migrated or evolved differently when the continents were connected versus when they were separated. The fit of continental margins, such as between South America and Africa, suggests that the continents were once joined together. Matching of geologic patterns on continents, such as rock formations, can also suggest that the continents were once connected.
