Answer:

  • Jig saw fit.
  • Fossil of flora and fauna
  • glaciation and mountain terrains in different parts of the world.
  • Deposits of coal, gold in lands far away.
  • Rocks having similar dating.

Explanation:

  • The west coast of Africa fits with that of the eastern coast of South America and states that these were geologically similar as they broke away and drifted for the Gondwanaland super landmass.  
  • Similarly, the presence of the gold and coal mines in the ivory coast of Africa and that of South America's coal reserves also proves the same geologic history of the continents.
  • The presence of the mountainous terrain and the glacial topography in various parts of the continent is formed from the chains of the mountain that broke apart in northern and southern hemispheres.
  • The presence of the fossil evidence of plants and the animals that were found on both sides of the landmass is now found on the ocean and sea.

Alfred Wegener collected diverse pieces of evidence to support his theory, including geological “fit” and fossil evidence. Geological “fit” evidence is the matching of large-scale geological features on different continents. Another important piece of evidence in the Continental Drift theory is the fossil relevance. There are various examples of fossils found on separate continents and in no other regions. This indicates that these continents had to be once joined together. <span>Possibly the most important fossil evidence found is the plant, Glossopteris. </span>

DanielleElmas [232]
Many different cultures would be shared in cities. In small towns, only a few cultures may be accepted, since the people are not used to adapting to new ways of life. People living in the city would have a more worldly influence than those in a small town and the country side.

What is one cultural change that has NOT occurred due to the increased use of
il63 [147K]

Answer:

One thing that has not occurred due to the increased use of communication technology is that people have remained more culturally isolated.

Explanation:

Throughout history and until relatively recently, people were often culturally isolated from the region in which they are parts of the world or even the whole world. With the innovations made in communication tehcnology though this all changed. Suddenly, people had the means to be able to communicate over a large distance, which soon turned into communication with people from all over the world.

The newest technological advancements have led people to be able to chat, see each other, share videos, pictures, ideas, from all over the world, and this has led to spreading of the pop culture. Most of the cultures of the world came of cultural isolation in a very short period of time, but it has had a negative effect as many native cultures have experienced a sharp decline. It has to be mentioned though that there are some cultures that are still isolated and the reasons for this are of political nature, with the best example being North Korea.
