<h3>ANSWER:</h3>

There are a number of evidences by which scientists support the plate tectonic theory. One of the evidence is the fossils of animals and plants. The species found in the Antarctic are alike the fossils of western Africa and eastern South America. The paleomagnetic evidence is one of the strongest evidence. The magnetic strata found within the fossil record clearly proves that these pieces of land masses in history were a single unit.

Hello. You forgot to put the map to which this question refers. The map is attached below.

Answer:

moraine

Explanation:

These are common features of the moraine, which is characterized as a heap of glaciers that accumulate and move in retreat due to the melting.
