The answer is D. heat flow and the movement of material inside the Earth
That is the only really obvious answer since it's basically talking about plate tectonics.
C. continental drift
(If the continent drifted apart, similar fossils were previously proximal would now be great distances apart)
The Earth rumbles and a hiss of steam issues from the top of Mt Ruapehu. Are these two events related? Is the earthquake caused by the volcano? Or is the steam caused by the earthquake?
Tectonic plates
When Alfred Wegener first proposed the idea of continental drift (the precursor idea to plate tectonic theory), it didn’t quite explain the full story. While he correctly showed that Africa and South America fitted together, his model wasn’t able to explain the violent forces that occur around the Earth’scrust.
