Question

alfred wegener suggested that earth’s continents are moving. which evidence supports this theory?

close geometric correspondence of continental coastlines

revolution of the earth

similarities in human fossils

different types of rocks on opposite coasts

Explanation:

To determine the evidence supporting Wegener's continental drift theory:

• "Revolution of the Earth" is about Earth's orbit, not continental movement. Eliminate this.
• "Similarities in human fossils" is incorrect as human fossils are too recent and not related to continental drift timing. Eliminate this.
• "Different types of rocks on opposite coasts" would not support drift; matching rocks would. Eliminate this.
• "Close geometric correspondence of continental coastlines" (like how South America and Africa fit) is a key visual evidence Wegener used for continental drift.

Answer:

A. close geometric correspondence of continental coastlines
