Who is the scientist who proposed Continental Drift Theory?

• Albert Einstein
• Alfred Wegener
• Isaac Newton
• John Dalton

What is the theory that states that parts of the Earth's crust slowly drift atop a liquid core.

• Theory of Evolution
• Heliocentric Theory
• Geocentric Theory
• Continental Drift Theory

What do you call the evidence of Wegener's Theory that tells about the remains of an organism that lived long time ago?

• Ashes
• Bones
• Follicles
• Fossils

What do you call the supercontinent landmass formed million years ago?

• Pangea
• Asia
• Pantallasa
• Eurasi

What are the two continents the fits together based on Wegener's Theory?

• Asia and Russia
• India and Asia
• South America and Africa
• Africa and Asia

What are the remains of organism noticed by Wegener that are found the same in two continents?

• Leaves and flowers
• Ice and mountains
• Plants and animals
• Dinosaurs and reptiles

What is this a picture of?

• plate tectonics
• continental drift
• pangea
• glacier scaring

What does the theory of continental drift state?

• The continents were once joined in a super-continent and have moved over time
• Continents are stationary and do not move
• The Earth is broken into lithospheric plates that move due to convection currents
• none of the above

What evidence did Wegener use in his theory?

• Continents and fossils fitting together/matching-up like puzzle pieces 
• glacier scars and evidence from temperature
• mountain ranges and coal deposits line up across continents
• all of the above

Why did no one believe Wegener's thoery?

• He could not explain HOW the continents moved
• He didn't have evidence
• His data was wrong
• He didn't use the right technology to gather data
