Answer:

Yes, they were believed to be modified by the formation of the rift valleys and  volcanoes activity.

Explanation:

  • The theory given by the Alfred Wegener provided evidence of the drifting of the continents and the formation of the current shoreline with the respect to the breakup of the super landmass and thus the shorelines of Africa and those of South America are an accurate representation of the breakup and the drift  
  • <u>The several factors are accountable for the nature of the coastline that has modified the shape and the size of the continent includes the formation of the rift valleys and the geologic and the tectonic processes and the presence of the faults and the folds in the history of the earth crust.</u>

The convection currents responsible for moving tectonic plates occur in which earth layer?
Studentka2010 [4]
Convection currents occur in the MANTLE. The mantle is the second layer of the earth after the crust. The mantle is approximately 2900 km thick. Convection currents are triggered or fueled by the heat from the Earth's core.

The part of the mantle closest to the core gets heated. It then becomes less dense than the layers above so it rises. When this rising plume interacts with the crust it cools and becomes more dense than the layers below and so it sinks and this circular motion continues to form convection currents.
