Answer 1

I believe it would be continental drift hun ^.^

Answer 2

Answer: C)continental drift.

Explanation:

• The theory of continental drift was given by Wegner who proposed that on early earth, all the present-day continents were joined together to form a single supercontinent called Pangea.

• He further added that this Pangea then broke into the many continents due to the plate tectonic movements.

• The fossils of same species of living organisms such as plants and animals located on different continents that are separated by vast oceans provide a piece of evidence for the continental drift theory.
