__________ can be used to determine the position of a continent in the past.
A) Evidence of an orogeny

C) Isotopic signatures
D) Apparent polar wander paths

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Apparent polar wander paths can be used to determine the position of a continent in the past by tracking the movement of the magnetic field relative to the continent over time. This method can also provide information on the direction and speed of plate motion. Evidence of an orogeny (mountain building), cratonic platforms (stable interior regions of a continent), and isotopic signatures can provide information on the geological history of a continent, but do not necessarily indicate its past position.
