Question

The scientific theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's crust is composed of many plates, or slabs of rock. Interactions of these plates have created different landforms, or geologic features. Which of the following statements provides evidence for this theory?

A. A large earthquake off the coast of Japan induces a wave that is over twenty feet high.
B. An iceberg buckles the hull of the Titanic and allows water to enter between the steel plates.
C. Fossilized marine creatures can be found at the top of the Himalayan Mountains.
D. The city of Pompeii is perfectly preserved under volcanic ash following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Answer 1

C. Fossilized marine creatures can be found at the top of Himalayan mountains

Answer 2

C. Fossilized marine creatures can be found at the top of the Himalayan Mountains.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scientific theory of plate tectonics tells you that when the plates collide they form different landforms such as mountains, pushing all the fossils and plants up with them.
