Question

what happened to the giant landmass that wegener described?
○ the pieces remained the same shape over time.
○ the pieces moved quickly to their current locations.
○ the pieces moved toward one another and created mountains.
○ the pieces broke apart and drifted away from one another over time.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Wegener's theory of continental drift proposed that a single giant landmass (Pangaea) broke into smaller pieces, which slowly drifted apart over millions of years to form the modern continents. The other options are incorrect: the pieces changed shape over time, moved slowly, and did not only collide to form mountains (they also drifted apart).

Answer:

The pieces broke apart and drifted away from one another over time.
