Based on the Continental drift hypothesis, it is believed that<u> B. </u><u>Continents </u><u>may </u><u>collide </u><u>in the </u><u>future</u><u>.</u>
<h3>Continental Drift Hypothesis</h3>
- Posits that continents were once part of a super continent and then broke apart.
- Posits that continents will keep moving until they collide again to form another super continent after which they will then break apart.
The hypothesis therefore posits that continents will collide at some point millions of years into the future with one such example being the Americas and Asia.

Answer:
A Mercator map projection greatly distorts the area of land masses near the poles.
Explanation:
Mercator projection is a projection method where the meridians are deposited vertically on the parallel circles, and where the distance along these circles is gradually stretched more in relation to the terrain it gets closer to the pole. The method is common, for example on world and sea maps. It maintains directions correctly.
The projection gets right at the equator but in theory never reaches the poles and it depends on the cylindrical projection. Gerhardus Mercator's projection became famous in the 16th century and has since been used on the seas.
