7
This theory states that the continents were once joined together yet they began to move apart
the theory of pangea
the theory of relativity
the theory of evolution
The theory of continental drift
8
A current proof we have for the theory of continental drift is

The galapagos islands
The composition of Mars
Plate Tectonics
9
In the beginning, Wegener's theory was
none of the above
easily accepted by critics
ridiculed by critics
mostly accepted by critics
10
What is one source for earths internal heat?
the sun
Hades getting angry
radioactive decay
the core
11

transverse waves
seismic waves
light waves
radio waves
12
One of Wegener's evidence for continental drift was
rock formations
alpacas
the phases of the moon
the layers of the earth
13
Wegener believed the continents drifted apart because
He saw them move
others believed the continents drifted too
They seemed to fit together and fossil evidence
none of the above
14
One real life example of Rock formation evidence is
The white cliffs of Dover and greenland
Mount Rushmore
the Appalachian mountains and Europe
The Andes mountains and Europe
15
Wegener's theory was not accepted at first because
he could not explain how the continents moved
there was not that many scientist in geology
he had too much evidence
the people just did not care about continents moving
16
One real life fossil evidence for the theory of continental drift is
the indominus rex
the mesosaurus
the dodo bird
the emu
17
A real life example of ancient climate evidence supporting the theory of continental drift is

Coal and Glacial deposits
The green house effect
Meteors
18
The scientist who first came up with the theory of continental drift was
Alfred Wegner
Bill Nye
Isaac Newton
Neil DeGrasse Tyson
19
Another evidence for Wegeners theory of continental drift is
heat from the earths core
pictures of the continents
Fossils
seismic waves
20
Another modern proof we have for the theory of continental drift is
Sea floor trenches
Aincent Climates
Mountain ranges
Sea floor spreading
