What reasoning did Wegener use to explain the presence of glacial striations near the equator?
He suggested that glaciers could form anywhere on Earth regardless of climate.
He proposed that the continents were once positioned differently, placing these areas near the South Pole.
He believed that the Earth's climate was once uniformly cold.
He thought that the striations were caused by ancient rivers, not glaciers.

How does the principle of superposition help geologists determine the relative age of rocks?
It allows them to date rocks using radioactive decay.
It helps them identify the exact age of a rock layer.
It provides a way to compare the age of rock layers by their position, with older layers at the bottom.
It shows that all rock layers are the same age.

Why was the discovery of Glossopteris fossils on multiple continents significant for Wegener's theory?
It showed that the plant could survive in any climate.
It suggested that the continents were once connected, as the plant's seeds couldn't have crossed oceans.
It indicated that the plant was the most widespread species in history.
It proved that the plant was native to Antarctica.
