Question 9 • WV-Earth and Space Science A-CR

Which feature is considered evidence for continental drift?

Answer
A
hurricane frequency
B
fossil distribution
C
polar ice caps
D
global warming

Explanation

Matching fossils have been found on continents that are now separated by oceans. This fossil distribution supports the idea that the continents were once connected and later drifted apart. Hurricane frequency and global warming do not show past continental positions, and polar ice caps alone are not the evidence asked for. The correct choice is fossil distribution.
