• Alfred Wegener
• Neil Armstrong
• Albert Einsten
• Mang Tani

Harley is a paleontologist and found a piece of fossil in North America similar to the fossil he also found in Greenland. What does this statement imply? It provided an evidence for ______________.

• Plate Tectonics Theory
• Continental Drift Theory
• Geologic Time Scale
• Presence of early extraterrestrial life

Which is known as the single supercontinent that was first published in the book entitled, "The Origin of the Continents and Oceans" in 1915?

• Pangea
• Pangga
• Pangaea
• Mangga

Which study emerged as these topographic data of trenches, mid-ocean ridges, underwater valleys, and heat flow measurements revived the interest of the idea of drifting continents?

• Continental Drift Theory
• Plate Tectonics Theory
• Planetesemal Hypothesis
• Seafloor Spreading Theory

Why is it the fit of the continents has been disputed as an evidence of Continental Drift Theory? Because _________________.

• shorelines were continuously being modified by wave erosions
• weathering explains these fitting
• ages of rocks in the shoreline were different to neighboring places
• organisms could not physically crossed the oceans because organisms adapt

The Lystrosaurus and Cynognathus are land reptiles whose fossils were found across South America, Africa, India, and Antartica. These organisms cannot swim. What could've happened?

• The organisms flew away.
• The organisms must have lived side by side and then lands drifted.
• The organisms teleported from time to time.
• The organisms are targeted for extinction.

If the glaciers have the same glacial tills and striations but differ in location, what evidence of continental drift does it infer?

• Fossil Match
• Fit of continents
• Glacial and Paleoclimate evidence
• Similarity in geologic units and structures

Grock discovered the similarities of geologic structures, ages of rocks and its types on opposite sides of Atlantic Ocean. What evidence of continental drift does it infer?

• Glacial and Paleoclimate evidence
• Fossil Match
• Fit of continents
• Similarity in geologic units and structures
