Question

Alfred wegener said that earths continents are moving. Which evidence supports this theory?

A) different types of rocks on opposite coasts

B) close geometric correspondence of continental coastlines

C) similarities in human fossils

D) revolution of the earth

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B) close geometric correspondence of continental coastlines.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the most evident evidence that supports Alfred Wegener's statement that Earth's continents are moving is the close geometric correspondence of continental coastlines. Wegener described this correspondence as geological "fit", particularly, between the coastlines of South America and West Africa. In addition, Wegener described correspondence among geological formations such as the one between the Appalachian Mountains of eastern North America and the Scottish Highlands.
