Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The earth's crust is comprised of the lithospheric plate and they are constantly in motion over the viscous layer of asthenosphere due to the generation of convection current in the mantle. It is due to the heat radiated from the interior of the earth.  

These plates were once all together forming a supercontinent named Pangaea. This Pangaea got separated into Laurasia and Gondwanaland.

North America was formed from the separation of the Laurasia about 200 million years back.

This plate motion was proved by some of the evidence put forwarded by Alfred Wegener. The continental drift theory that was modified to Plate tectonic theory was able to explain the mechanism behind this plate motion.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Compare and Contrast weathering and erosion.
Alecsey [184]
Weathering is the decomposition of rocks, soils and their minerals through direct contact with the Earth's atmosphere. Erosion is displacement of solids (soil, mud, rock and other particles) usually by the agents of currents such as, wind, water, or ice by downward or down-slope movement in response to gravity or by living organisms. Erosion occurs because of factors like wind, water, ice, human activities like deforestation etc. Weathering, on the other hand is caused by contact with the earth's atmosphere. These atmospheric conditions may be heat, pressure etc.

That's how they are different.

Gnoma [55]

The component of natural selection which is most likely driving the change in phenotype distribution is, that the presence of spines on stickleback caused increased food acquisition and survival in ocean areas.

<h3>What do you mean by Natural selection?</h3>

Natural selection may be defined as a process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. It involves the favorable variations to carry forward.

Stickleback play a major role in the diet of fish. This structure of fish allows them to feed on small crustaceans and insects.

Therefore, it is well described above.
