Which of the following supports the theory of continental drift?


The depth of the oceans

The climate of the South American continent

The size of glaciers in Alaska

The fossil record

Verified Answer :

The answer to this question is the fossil record because they found fossils in different continents because of continental drift

Hello :) So the continental drift theory is basically saying that the continents were once attached in a big mass of land and drifted apart over time. The depth of the oceans don't really have anything to do with this. Neither does the climate in South America or the size of glaciers. Fossils of the same kind however, were found in several continents. This supports the theory that animals once roamed around in that area when the continents were attached. Hope this helps. :D
