- 1. Multiple Choice
The theory of continental drift states that all the continents were once part of one big landmass called Pangaea. Who was the scientist that came up with this theory?
Harry Hess
Bill Nye
Alfred Wegener
Albert Einstein
- 2. Multiple Choice
Which of the following evidence was used to support theory of continental drift?
A) Continents fit together like a puzzle
B) Similar fossils were found on separate continents
C) Different types of rock, mountain structures, landforms are found all over the world.
D) All of the above
E) Only A and B
- 3. Multiple Choice
Why was Alfred Wegener unable to explain his theory?
He couldn't explain how the continents drifted.
He couldn't explain why similar fossils on different continents were separated
He couldn't explain why similar geological structures found were found on different continents.
He couldn't explain why the continents fit together like a puzzle.
- 4. Multiple Choice
If you took rock samples from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the youngest rock would be
located where the plates collide
located at the place where rocks are furthest from the rift valley
Located at the center of the ridge (rift valley), where oceanic crust is formed
none of the above; all the rocks would be the same age
