Answer:

Option b

Explanation:

In the year 1912, a meteorologist and a geophysicist, proposed a theory that explained positional shifts in the continents on the surface of the Earth.

Likewise, he also clarified why similarity in appearance exist between the fossils of animals and plants and comparable rock developments are found on various continents.

Alfred Wegener proposed that maybe the Earth's rotation made the continents move towards and separate from one another or crerated continental drift. (It doesn't.) Today, we realize that the continents lay on monstrous sections of rocks called tectonic plates.  

The plates are continually moving and connecting in a procedure called plate tectonics.

Answer:

Economic and Urban geography are smaller areas of physical geography, would be: False.

Explanation:

Physical geography, also known as Geosystems, or Physiography, is one of the two major branches of Geography, with Human Geography.

It is also Human Geography that deals with the study of cultural aspects in humans, their communities, how people interact with each other and their environment, among other things. In this order, then, Economic and Urban geography are subcategories of Human Geography and not Physical Geography.
