ANSWER:
b. Similar fossils of plants and animals are found on widely separated continents.
c. Remains of tropical plants found in Antarctica.
d. Matching jig-saw puzzle coastlines, particularly with the west coast of Africa and east coast of South America.
EXPLANATION:
Continental drift is the earliest ways geologists believed continents moved gradually. The continental drift theory is connected to the scientist Alfred Wegener. He was certain that all continents of the Earth were once fragment of a mammoth, single land form known as 'Pangaea'. Wegener a trained astronomer, used botany, geology, and biology to define Pangaea and the continental drift.
For instance, fossils of the primeval reptile Mesosaurus, a freshwater reptile,were only found in South America and Southern Africa and Mesosaurus being only one meter long would not have swam the Atlantic Ocean. The existence of Mesosaurus suggested a single habitat with several rivers and lakes. Wegener studied fossils of plants from the glacial Arctic Svalbard Archipelago, Norway.
These plant fossils were not the sturdy specimens accustomed to subsist in the Arctic climate. These fossils were that of the tropical plants, which adapts to a more humid, much warmer environ. The existence of these fossils submits Svalbard once had a tropical climate.Lastly, Wegener studied the stratigraphy of mountain ranges and different rock.
Africa's West-Coast and South America's East-Coast fit together like jigsaw puzzle pieces, and Wegener learnt their rock layers fit very clearly. Wegener uncovered that the Eastern United States' Appalachian Mountains, for example, were geologically connected to Scotland's Caledonian Mountains.
The correct options are A) Remains of tropical plants have been found in Antarctica, C) Mountain ranges in North America match up with those along the European coastline. and D) Similar fossils of plants and animals are found on widely separated continents.
What evidence suggests the continents were once all together but then drifted apart?
Mountain ranges in North America match up with those along the European coastline. Similar fossils of plants and animals are found on widely separated continents. Remains of tropical plants have been found in Antarctica.

Which of the following is true about the age of rock layers and the age of the Earth? A. The top layer in a sequence of rock layers is older than the Earth. B. All rock layers are older than the Earth. C. The Earth is older than any rock layer. D. The bottom layer in a sequence of rock layers is older than the Earth.
Answer:
The Earth is older than any rock layer.
Explanation:
The rock layers on our planet are numerous, and each of them represents a particular geological period. They occupy anywhere between 25 and 70 km in-depth, or rather the uppermost layer of our planet. And while some of these rock layers are over a billion years of age, they are not older than Earth. Earth has initially formed from a nebula, space dust, which over time consolidated, and it took at least a couple of billions of years for the first rocks to occur.
The rocks only started to form when the conditions were right on the surface, or basically when Earth cooled enough so that the magma can cool down and solidify. Since the formation of the first rocks, the process has not stopped, and there is the constant formation of new ones, pilling on top of the older layers. It is not just that new rocks are forming though, but older rocks are getting subducted and end up in the mantle where they melt and get recycled.

What determines which way a river will flow?
its location in relation to a drainage divide
the flow of rivers entering into it
its depth
its width
Answer:
Which way a river will flow is determined by its location in relation to a drainage divide.
Explanation:
The rivers are water bodies that have flowing water. They flow from higher to lower ground, and they can go in any direction where the water can move freely or more easily. Some rivers tend to be more straight, some more meandering, or have numerous drastic changes in direction.
It is actually very simple what determined the way a river will flow. The location of the river in relation to a drainage divide is the biggest factor. The drainage divide basically represents a natural barrier for the movement of the water, thus anything moving on one side of it will move on that side only, as the water can not go up. Every twist and turn of the river is determined by the topography within the drainage basin, as well as the composition of the rocks.

Explanation:
Jorge lives in a high poverty neighborhood in a small city. He and his neighbors feel like the mayor
and city council don't take their concerns seriously or try to address problems in their community so
they've stopped seeking help from the local government and have become disengaged from politics.
This exemplifies which concept?
O a. voter apathy
b.residential segregation
OC disenfranchisement
d. white flight
Answer:
b.residential segregation
Explanation:
From the question, Jorge who lives in a high poverty neighborhood feels ignored by the mayor of the city because they do not take their concerns seriously or even try to address the problems in the community. As a result of this they have stopped seeking help from the local government and have become disengaged from politics.
This is a good example of residential segregation.
Residential segregation is the separation of groups of people based on race, or income level.
From the example given, Jorge lives in a high poverty neighborhood and is ignored by the mayor, this shows that they are separated based on income level which accounts for the neighborhood being a high poverty one.

Which of these is not an advantage of wetlands?
Group of answer choices
recharge water tables
help prevent flooding
flow rapidly
good habitat for life
Answer: Low rapidly
Explanation:
Wetlands are areas that are filled with water sometimes permanently, sometimes seasonally. They have a couple of advantages such as recharging water tables, preventing flooding and providing a good habitat for life.
They recharge the water table by collecting water then letting it sip into the ground mostly at the edges. They prevent flooding by also collecting water then letting the water out gradually. They provide a good habitat for life as wetlands are teeming with fish, animal and plant life.
A rapid flow is therefore not an advantage of wetlands.

Answer:
Volcanic rock, quartz, and sandstone.
Explanation:
Divergent boundaries often begin as triple junctions composed of three rift "arms" at ~120° apart (which may or may not evolve into divergent boundaries). Knowing that rifts (red lines) generally open perpendicular to the rift (or sub-parallel to the light blue transform faults), which of the statements below about this area is incorrect?
a. the NW-trending Red Sea is a linear sea that is opening in a NE-SW direction
b. the ENE-trending Gulf of Aden is a linear sea that is opening in a NNE-SSW direction ANSWER
c. the volcanoes in Africa define a narrow linear rift that is opening in a NW-SE direction
d. the volcanoes in Africa define a volcanic arc related to subduction off Africa's east coast
Answer:
b. the ENE-trending Gulf of Aden is a linear sea that is opening in a NNE-SSW direction.
Explanation:
The gulf of Aden is a deepwater gulf that has Yemen in the north and the Arabian Sea in the east. On northwest lies the red sea, being a young and narrow oceanic basin has a rift margin in Arabic and Somali plate. Has a mean oriented to northeast The eastern African rift, red sea, and gulf of Aden forms the afra tri junction system that runs about 2000 km.Which factor BEST explains the recent increase in the number of undocumented teenage immigrants in the United States from Central American countries?
Answer:
The factor that best explains the growing number of undocumented adolescent immigrants from Central American countries in the United States is the wave of violence that exists in the countries of the region, especially Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala.
This violence has a double origin: on the one hand, especially in the case of Nicaragua, it is generated by the government itself, which, although it cannot be classified as a dictatorship, it is an autocratic and authoritarian government. Thus, huge social and political conflicts develop in the country, which lead to institutional violence by the state against its own citizens.
On the other hand, the biggest problem in the region is generated by the Maras, mafia-style street gangs that control drug trafficking and, logically, confront each other to try to expand their areas of influence.
These factors mean that the quality of life in Central America has notably decreased, prompting thousands of inhabitants of the region to migrate to the United States, even illegally, in search of a better future.
