What are four pieces of evidence for continental drift?

Geography
1 answer:
Alexus [3.1K]3 years ago

Answer:

- Shape of the continents

- Fossils of the same species found on continents that are not connected

- Evidence of ice sheets in places that are hot in the present

- Mid-ocean ridges

Explanation:

The continental drift theory is a theory that suggests that the continents are always on the move, thus they change their shape, location, collide with each other, move away from each other etc.

The shape of South America and Africa is one of the evidences. If the shapes of the continents are taken out of a map, and the eastern coast of South America and western coast of Africa are merged, they fit in perfectly.

There are numerous fossils of the same species of animals and plants that have been found all over the world, even though the continents are isolated and separated by water bodies.

In some places that are very hot in the presence, like South Africa, have evidence of ice sheets. In the current conditions that is simply not possible considering that the temperature in this part of the world goes well over 40 C degrees.

The mid-ocean ridges are very nice proof of the continental drift theory. They are one of the evidence that can be observed in the present, where new crust is constantly forming and pilling up, while pushing the old crust sideways further away from it.

Hey there!
Indeed you can be arrested for DUI under the influence of a stimulant.
While some think that you can be arrested for driving under influence only because of alcohol, you can be arrested for using any drug while driving, even stimulants, because they are still impacting you in a way that can change behavior and impair your ability to drive- endangering other drivers.
Hope this helps!
