Choose the pieces of evidence that supported the existence of Pangaea and continental drift theory.

Question

Geological features, such as mountain ranges, that align on matching coasts of different continents.
Antarctica's glacial features are similar to the Arctic's.
Island arc ranges are still connected under the Atlantic Ocean.
Fossilized plants and animals of the same species found on separate continents.

Answer 1

The pieces of evidence that supported the existence of Pangaea and the continental drift theory are:

1. Geological features, such as mountain ranges, that align on matching coasts of different continents.
2. Fossilized plants and animals of the same species found on separate continents.

The other points, while interesting, are less commonly cited as direct evidence for Pangaea and continental drift:

• Antarctica's glacial features are similar to the Arctic's - this is related but doesn't directly support Pangaea in the same way.
• Island arc ranges are still connected under the Atlantic Ocean is more about tectonic processes rather than direct evidence of continental drift.
