Answer:

A.  Earth’s internal heat

Explanation:

  • The earth internal heat is what drives the plate on the earth in motion and this heat energy comes to from the core of the earth and this makes the base of the plate tectonic theory as plates are dynamically active and the forces that provide energy to the earth surface are held responsible for the earth internal radioactive decay of the elements.  
  • <u>This also related to the planet's heat budget and power the most of the geologic process that takes place on earth. This heat index is measured from the heat that comes out from the earth's core to the mantel and to the crust of the planet.</u>

The presence of glossopteris leaves and mesosaurus on disconnected continents are strong _______ evidence for continental drift.
almond37 [142]

Fossils.

Early in the 20th century, Alfred Wegener, primarily, established the continental drift theory. According to Wegener, continents are mobile on the surface of the Earth and were previously connected to form a single supercontinent. Scientists did not think that the continents could migrate when Wegener was alive.

In rocks that are the same age but on continents that are currently far apart, ancient fossils of the same species of extinct plants and animals can be found. Wegener claimed that the species had coexisted, but that once they died and become petrified, the lands had separated. According to his theory, the creatures couldn't have crossed the seas.

1. Glossopteris seed fern fossils were too heavy for the wind to carry them that far.

2. Mesosaurus was a reptile that could swim, although it could only do it in freshwater.

3. The terrestrial reptiles Cynognathus and Lystrosaurus were incapable of swimming.
