Answer:

In a reconstruction of Earth's geologic past the continents of Africa and South America fit best along <u>the continental shelves .</u>

Explanation:  

Continental Drift -

According to this theory , The continent Earth have moved on geological time that is with respect to each other , therefore , appearing to be drifted across ocean bed .

The Continental drift idea has been subsumed from the theory of the plate tectonics , i.e. , the continents move by riding on plates of the Earth's lithosphere.

This was suggested by Alfred Wegener in his theory of continental drift. He suggested that the coastline of both the continents are perfectly fit. But later proved that continental shelves also well fit.

Explain how the limestone caves at carlsbad cavern were formed
NeX [460]

The limestone caves at Carlsbad Cavern were formed by hydrogen-sulfide-rich (H2S) waters. This water moved through fractures and faults in the limestone and mixed with rainwater along the way. The mixture gave rise to a substance known as sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Sulfuric acid is able to dissolve limestone, eventually creating Carlsbad Cavern. The process of cave formation ended roughly four million years ago.

How did glaciers change the land of the Northeast region
Alekssandra [29.7K]

“Glaciers not only transport material as they move, but they also sculpt and carve away the land beneath them. A glacier's weight, combined with its gradual movement, can drastically reshape the landscape over hundreds or even thousands of years. The ice erodes the land surface and carries the broken rocks and soil debris far from their original places, resulting in some interesting glacial landforms.” nsidc.org
