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>

The majority of the energy processes at the earth’s surface comes from the earth’s internal energy
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

True, majority of the earth energy source comes from the <u>internal motion</u> but rest comes from outside.

Explanation:

  • Earth gets its energy from the interior of the planet like the core which forms the most essential driving force of the planet it not just only regulate the flow of geomaterial from the bottom to the top but also acts as a geothermal source for various energy process.
  • As we know this is called the Endogenetic force of the planet caused due to the earth rotation without which earth would have been dead long ago. The external forces of Denudation which break down the landscape from above are of Exogenic in nature.  
  • The sun's rays that are 100% at the surface of the earth but, come down o only 50% at the ground level as most of it gets deflected by the natural Albedo of the earth with is 35%. This partial absorption, deflection, and then reflection  
  • Thus this process is a temporary phase as all this gets reradiated back in a long wave from at night.
  • Thus internal thermodynamics has a huge role to play in the formation of earth energy processes.
