Question 6 • TPS EdX Biology

Which land feature supports the theory of continental drift?

Answer
A
volcanoes
B
oceans
C
canyons
D
coal fields

Explanation

Coal fields support continental drift because matching coal deposits occur on continents that are now far apart. Coal forms from ancient plant material in specific climates, so these matching deposits suggest the continents were once joined and later moved apart. Volcanoes, oceans, and canyons do not provide this same evidence.
