Question

Drag the events into the correct order to show how new evidence and new technologies caused scientists to develop and revise the theory of plate tectonics

Maps showed that the outlines of continents and continental shelves match like puzzle pieces
Rock dating methods showed that sea-floor rocks are generally younger than continental rocks.
Global positioning system satellites measured how points on Earth's surface move constantly at a slow rate
Fossil evidence revealed that the same plants and land animals are on continents that are now separated by oceans
Sound projections called SONAR revealed that the ocean floor contains continuous chains of mountains, or ridges, and deep trenches.

Answer 1

New evidence and technologies caused scientists to develop and revise the theory of plate tectonics, including fossil evidence, rock dating methods, and SONAR.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Fossil evidence revealed that the same plants and land animals are on continents that are now separated by oceans.
2. Rock dating methods showed that sea-floor rocks are generally younger than continental rocks.
3. Sound projections called SONAR revealed that the ocean floor contains continuous chains of mountains, or ridges, and deep trenches.
4. Maps showed that the outlines of continents and continental shelves match like puzzle pieces.
5. Global positioning system satellites measured how points on Earth's surface move constantly at a slow rate.
