Question 7 • MOHEGAN - EARTH SCIENCE A

Which evidence supports the claim that Earth’s continents formed during Precambrian time?

Answer
A
Compaction caused rock to cool and rise to form pieces of crust.
B
Earth collided with a large object and threw material onto Earth’s surface.
C
Collisions with comets added land masses to Earth’s surface.
D
Earth’s surface cooled, causing rocks to cool and harden.

Explanation

During Precambrian time, Earth’s surface cooled enough for molten rock to solidify and form a hard crust. This cooling and hardening provided the basis for the continents to develop. Compaction, a giant collision, or comets adding land masses are not the evidence-based explanation given here.
