$300 QuestionExplain how Wegner used fossils of tropical plants found on the continent of Antarctica to support his theory of Continental Drift.

$300 QuestionPlates move roughly __________per year$300 Question

What large land feature on different continents appear to match?Answer: iron & nickel

$400 QuestionWegners theory of Continental Drift was not widely accepted for decades because it failed to explain HOW the continents drifted apart. Current theories explain that the Tectonic Plates move because :

a. Hot Spots under the Crustb. Convection Currents in the Mantlec. Hot Magma in the Inner Core

$400 Question

TRUE / False

Tectonic Plates can be under ocean OR land, but never both.
