What does continuity of similar mountain ranges on different continents show?
Correct answer: A
Continuity of similar mountain ranges indicates old connection. Exam tip: write it under geological evidence.
View question detailsIn Continental Drift Theory present continents were considered derived from what?
Correct answer: B
Present continents were considered parts of broken Pangaea. Exam tip: understand Pangaea as the original supercontinent.
View question detailsWhich statement is correct for continental drift?
Correct answer: C
Continental drift is considered to occur over very long geological time. Exam tip: treat it as a slow process.
View question detailsPlacer deposits in continental drift are related to which evidence?
Correct answer: D
Placer deposits provide evidence of mineral similarity. Exam tip: remember them as economic geological signs.
View question detailsWegener's theory tried to answer which question?
Correct answer: A
Wegener tried to explain the origin and positions of continents and oceans. Exam tip: understand it as an explanation of distribution.
View question detailsWhat does coastline matching mean in continental drift?
Correct answer: B
Coastline matching shows that some continents may once have been joined. Exam tip: treat it as visual evidence.
View question detailsWhich option is the correct group of evidences for continental drift?
Correct answer: C
Main evidences of continental drift are coastline fossils rocks and climatic signs. Exam tip: remember evidences by category.
View question detailsAccording to Wegener continents were considered to drift over which surface?
Correct answer: D
Wegener assumed continents drifted over the ocean floor. Exam tip: this idea was later considered weak.
View question detailsCoastal similarity on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean supports which theory?
Correct answer: A
The coastlines of Africa and South America match on both sides of the Atlantic. Exam tip: remember this example.
View question detailsWhat was the name of the ocean surrounding Pangaea?
Correct answer: B
Panthalassa was the huge ocean around Pangaea. Exam tip: remember the pair Pangaea and Panthalassa.
View question detailsWhich of the following is related to Wegener?
Correct answer: C
Wegener was the proposer of Continental Drift Theory. Exam tip: remember the pair of name and theory.
View question detailsFor what purpose are evidences studied in continental drift?
Correct answer: D
Evidences show that continents may have been connected earlier. Exam tip: connect every evidence with old connection.
View question detailsAccording to Continental Drift Theory what are oceans and continents?
Correct answer: A
The theory explains changing positions of continents and oceans. Exam tip: link change with geological time.
View question detailsIn which evidence are remains of similar organisms found on different continents?
Correct answer: B
Remains of similar organisms are called fossil evidence. Exam tip: use Mesosaurus and Glossopteris as examples.
View question detailsIn which evidence are marks of old glaciers seen?
Correct answer: C
Marks of old glaciers are glacial evidence. Exam tip: place tillite and glacial striations here.
View question detailsWhich theory later gave stronger support to continental drift?
Correct answer: D
Plate tectonics explained the cause of continental movement better. Exam tip: treat it as the modern basis of Wegener's idea.
View question detailsThe example of Africa and South America in continental drift is linked with which ocean?
Correct answer: A
Africa and South America are located on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Exam tip: connect coastline fit with the Atlantic.
View question detailsWegener's book was related to what?
Correct answer: B
Wegener gave ideas on the origin of continents and oceans. Exam tip: connect the book's subject with this.
View question detailsWhat is the separation of continents after the breakup of Pangaea called?
