Answer:

continental drift

Explanation:

The most likely reason for this would be continental drift. It is believed that millions of years ago our world was one giant continent. This continent began breaking apart and drifting slowly more and more as millions of years passed by, ultimately creating the seven continents we know now. This would mean that Brazil and South Africa were most likely once the exact same location or the edge of where the continent broke apart. This would explain why the same rock was found in both locations.

What factors drive the movements of global air masses
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The 4 types of air masses are polar, tropical, continental and maritime. Their classification depends on their location where they are formed.

Explanation:

One major influence of air mass movement is the upper level winds such as the upper level winds associated with the jet stream. The jet stream wind is often referred to as a steering wind. The troughs and ridges of the jet stream will help transport cold air toward lower latitudes and warm air toward high latitudes.
