3
Which statement is False about Pangea?
Its also called the supercontinent
the landmasses were named the same as the 7 continents today

Why was the Theory of Plate Tectonics accepted?
It made the most sense and therefore that must be it
The data can be interpreted via many different ways
Information has been gathered through advances in technology to support it
Scientists have proven the theory to be true many years

52
The correct order of the layers of earth from surface to center is:
Crust, upper mantle, asthenosphere, lower mantle, outer core, inner core
