Question
which coal field location is related to coal fields in the united states and supports the theory of continental drift?
○ india
○ africa
○ australia
○ europe
The theory of continental drift posits that the continents were once joined as a supercontinent (Pangaea). Coal fields of the same geologic age and type found across now-separated continents support this. The coal fields in Europe (specifically western Europe) align geologically and chronologically with those in the eastern United States, as they were part of the same landmass in Pangaea before continental separation.
