Answer: Glaciers caused the scarring

Explanation: Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents.

The theory of continental drift

Wegener thought all the continents were once joined together in an "Urkontinent" before breaking up and drifting to their current positions. But geologists soundly denounced Wegener's theory of continental drift after he published the details in a 1915 book called "The Origin of Continents and Oceans." Part of the opposition was because Wegener didn't have a good model to explain how the continents moved apart.

Which of the following were results of the French and Indian War?
LenKa [72]

The French and Indian War is an extension of the Seven Years’ War of 1756-63 that pitted the colonies of British America against New France. The French were defeated and lost vast territories, including Canada and French Louisiana. The Brits gained land east of the Mississippi River and removed French threat to its thirteen colonies. The conflict trained many American officers, including Washington, that would later fight in the Revolutionary War. The Brits Empire grew substantially, but the war incurred great debts. The Brits tried to tax the colonies more in order to pay the debt, causing the colonies to unite just in time for the Revolutionary war.
