It is based on the idea that all the present continents were on supercontinent.
Air pressure changes with altitude because of issues related to gravity. Molecules have more weight the closer they are to the Earth and more of them move to lower elevations as a result; this causes increased pressure because there are more molecules in number and proximity. Conversely, air at higher elevations has less weight, but also forces pressure on those layers below it, resulting in the molecules closer to the Earth supporting more weight, increasing the pressure
Answer: option B: conduction.
Conduction is the heat transfer that happens between two bodies in direct contact, due to the collision of the molecules, atoms and electrons within the body (microscopical level).
On Earth, gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the downwsrd speed of any falling object, every second. Beginning from zero downward speed, the speed grows to (8 x 9.8) = 78.4 m/s downward after 8 sec.
