Hard · Level 29 · pangaea breakup,geological time,drift
View options
  1. As slow long term geological change
  2. As one day weather event
  3. As change in political boundary
  4. Only as river course change
Hard · Level 29 · continental drift theory,fossil evidence,glacial deposits,mesosaurus,glossopteris,tethys sea
View options
  1. Tillite provides evidence of ancient glacial deposits
  2. Mesosaurus fossils indicate a former land connection between South America and Africa
  3. Similarity between placer gold deposits in Ghana and source rocks in Brazil indicates former proximity
  4. The Tethys Sea provides evidence for the distribution of Glossopteris plant fossils
Hard · Level 29 · atlantic,africa south america,evidence
View options
  1. Old connection and later separation of Africa and South America
  2. Drying of the Atlantic in one day
  3. Europe being Gondwanaland
  4. Panthalassa being a fossil
Hard · Level 29 · evidence theory,wegener,hypothesis
View options
  1. The hypothesis of joined landmass was built from different evidences
  2. Evidences were later fully removed
  3. The theory was based only on myth
  4. Evidences were taken only from census
Hard · Level 29 · present position,paleogeography,drift
View options
  1. Because old positions and climates of landmasses could be different
  2. Because maps are not used
  3. Because Earth has no rocks
  4. Because fossils are always fake
Hard · Level 29 · pangaea,tethys,term relation
View options
  1. Pangaea was a joined landmass and Tethys was the sea between its divided parts
  2. Pangaea was fossil of Tethys
  3. Tethys surrounded Pangaea from all sides
  4. Both are modern mountains
Hard · Level 29 · evidence types,coastline,mineral
View options
  1. Mesosaurus and Glossopteris
  2. Rock similarity and mountain continuity
  3. Coastline fit and placer gold
  4. Tillite and glacial striation
Hard · Level 29 · paleoclimate,limitation,mechanism
View options
  1. It should be read with other evidences because climate clues alone do not give full mechanical explanation
  2. It always shows present weather
  3. It is unrelated to continents
  4. It is only a political fact
Hard · Level 29 · plate tectonics,wegener,evidence
View options
  1. It is wrong because plate tectonics better explained the mechanism and gave new basis to many evidences
  2. It is correct because no evidence remained
  3. It is correct because continents proved fixed
  4. It is correct because Pangaea was a modern city
Hard · Level 29 · criticism,mechanism,evidence
View options
  1. Main criticism was on mechanism because evidences existed
  2. Main criticism was that there were no coastlines
  3. Main criticism was that Pangaea was an ocean
  4. Main criticism was absence of fossils
Hard · Level 29 · biological evidence,climatic evidence,mesosaurus tillite
View options
  1. Mesosaurus and tillite
  2. Panthalassa and Laurasia
  3. Tethys and tidal force
  4. Pangaea and pole fleeing
Hard · Level 29 · wrong conclusion,coastline fit,critical thinking
View options
  1. Entire Earth history was proved only by coastline fit
  2. Coastline fit may indicate old connection
  3. Fossil similarity may indicate old contact
  4. Rock similarity may show geological relation
Hard · Level 29 · dynamic earth,mobile continents,wegener
View options
  1. Because it treated continents as movable rather than fixed
  2. Because it denied oceans on Earth
  3. Because it called rocks fake
  4. Because it explained only present weather
Hard · Level 29 · combined evidence,mesosaurus,rock coastline
View options
  1. Visual geological and biological evidences support old connection
  2. Only present climate is proved
  3. Continents formed in one day
  4. Panthalassa was a fossil
Hard · Level 29 · historical importance,wegener,plate tectonics
View options
  1. It started debate on continental mobility before plate tectonics
  2. It gave complete calculation of modern plates

Hard · Level 29 · evidence,modern explanation,plate tectonics
View options
  1. Wegener's evidences show old connection and plate tectonics gives mechanism of movement
  2. Wegener's evidences explain only politics
  3. Plate tectonics rejects fossils
  4. In modern explanation continents are fixed
Hard · Level 29 · mature conclusion,continental drift,plate tectonics
View options
  1. It was an important evidence based hypothesis whose mechanical gap was later filled by plate tectonics
  2. It was an imagination without evidence
  3. It was only a meteorology theory
  4. It was a theory stating continents are fixed
