The theory of plate tectonics shows that continental movements could not have happened. C. The theory of plate tectonics tells us exactly where the continents were before Pangaea divided. D. The theory of plate tectonics shows that Pangaea was impossible, but the continents did move.

The statement, that is, the theory of plate tectonics explains how continental movement could take place is true about the theory of plate tectonics and the theory of continental drift.

• In 1960, Alfred Wegner proposed the scientific theory of plate tectonics.

• According to this theory, a huge mass of land got divided and drifted into the continents, which later got drifted to distinct locations from the place of their origination.

• The reason for continental drift is been provided by the tectonic plate theory.

• It illustrates the fact that the continents formed got further differentiated into distinct small continents due to the natural phenomenon of earthquakes, the formation of mountains, and volcanic eruption.

Thus, the correct statement is option A, that is, the theory of plate tectonics illustrates how continental movements could take place.
