Weathering and erosion
Explanation:
Weathering and erosion are the processes that would be partially responsible for the change in the landmasses. Since the image shows movement of continents to their current positions, their surfaces would have been sculpted by the agents of denudation through its 250mya history.
- Denudation is the gradual process of lowering and leveling of the earth surface by breaking and wearing away of such surfaces.
- The agents of denudation are wind, running water, ice and waves.
- Denudation is a constant process that the earth undergoes from time to time.

I believe the answer is C. This is because all three headlines include information about transportation systems (first one with air delays, second with road closures and third with roads being reopened) being effected by natural disasters.
Here are why the other ones are incorrect:
A. In headline 2 with Arizona, it states how wildfires caused road closures around the state and not the area of the wildfire (headline 1 also disproves this answer, since it says “Worst delays since 9/11”, meaning it effected a lot more than the nearby area).
B. None of these are predicting natural disasters occurred, as seen by some of the language: “Arizona Fires FORCE road closures” (present tense, not past).
D. These do not mention anything about railroads being immune, so it can’t be it.
Hope this helps!
<span>The correct answer is plate tectonics. The outermost shell of Earth, called the lithosphere, is partitioned into different tectonic plates (7 or 8 major ones). When a plate breaks along what are called faults, there is a release of energy, which causes seismic waves (the ground shaking). This shaking then causes several plates to rub against each other, and when they break, the earthquake results.</span>
