Biological Evidence and the Fossil Record — Test

Question 20 • TPS EdX Biology

Which indicates how evidence of climate change supports the theory of continental drift?

Answer
A
coal fields in several continents
B
folded mountains in Africa and South America
C
glacial evidence found in South Africa
D
volcano formation

Explanation

Glacial deposits and marks in South Africa indicate that the region once had a much colder climate, likely because it was located closer to a pole. Similar climate evidence on continents now far apart supports the idea that the continents were once joined and later drifted apart. Therefore, the correct choice is glacial evidence found in South Africa.
