Answer:
B.Mineral and fossils matched on separate continents adding evidence in support of Wegener’s theory.
Explanation:
Theory created by the German meteorologist Alfred Wegener, in which he stated that approximately 200 million years ago there was no separation between continents, ie there was a single continental mass called Pangeia and a single ocean, the Pantalassa.
After millions of years there was a fragmentation emerging two megacontinents called Laurasia and Godwana, and from there the continents were moving and adapting to the current configurations.
The crucial point for the development of the Continental Drift theory, which in its essence means the movement of continents, or moving plates, is the realization that the earth is not static. Then Wegener realized that the coast of Africa was contoured that fit the coast of South America.
Another trace that supports the theory was the discovery of fossils of animals of the same species on different continents, as it would be impossible for these animals to have crossed the Atlantic Ocean, the only explanation being that in the past the two continents were together.
Do you really believe that the earth was MILLIONS years OlD???
Scientist just guessed the numbers out. It's funny how people believe them.
Anyways here is what google says: 145 millions years ago.

Answer:
Rainforests are not generally considered a source of
D. none of the above
<span>How are the trees different in these three biomes?
•Tropical forest consists of more…Tropical plants of course! These being: Palms, Orchids, ferns, vines, mosses, and more.
•Temperate forest tend to stick with more “dry” plants per say. Some examples: Oak, hickory, maple, elm, willow, ect.
•Ending with Boreal Forest, (otherwise known as taiga) inhabit plants of
which can survive harsher, colder climates. This includes: Pine, fir,
and spruce. “Needle like pines” if you will.
Describe the three soil types. Before you learned about the biomes,
which of the three would you have thought would have had the richest
soil? Why?
•Tropical Forest: Soil is nutrient-poor and acidic. Decomposition is rapid and soils are subject to heavy leaching.
•Temperate Forest: Soil is fertile, enriched with decaying litter.
•Boreal Forest: Soil is thin, nutrient-poor, and acidic.
Out of the three biomes, *Insert thoughts here*
For each of the three biomes, describe what you see as the biggest
challenge to plants and animals. What environmental factor most drives
their adaptations? (Example: For the desert, the factor would be the
lack of water and heat.)
•Tropical Rain forest: The lack of nutrients in the soil.
•Temperate Forest: Acid rain. <It kills trees & plants.
•Boreal Forest: Poor soil. </span>
