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.

Zinaida [17]
The effects that WWI had on Germany was that they lost allies and suffered huge territorial losses giving away its land and population to Poland, Russia, France, Belgium, and Denmark, and ultimately had to sign the Treaty of Versailles. After the U.S involvement in the first World War it lead directly to the Great Depression and WWII, The Treaty of Versailles led to a system where the U.S was cashing in its wartime loans to the U.K which in turn was using the wartime reparations it received from Germany to pay off the U.S.
