Second 9 Weeks Review

Alfred Wegener, the geologist who proposed the theory of continental drift, also coined the term for the ancient supercontinent, Pangaea. Later geologists have recovered evidence that the land masses that made up Pangaea, including Africa and South America, were once close to one another. One of their main sources of data is a —

• 1. large group of plant and animal fossils.

• 1. set of surveys showing the distribution of island arcs.

• 1. group of samples of new oceanic crust from ocean basins.

• 1. set of seismology readings from deep sea trenches.
