Question

19 scientists have proposed that at one time in earths history there was a supercontinentpangaeanorth americaeurasiaafricaindiasouth americaaustraliaantarcticawhich statement describes the causes that most likely led to the breaking apart of pangaea?a solar radiation from the sun along with meteor impacts caused cracks to form in pangaeab weathering and erosion caused earthquakes that resulted in breaks in the continental cruc convection in earths interior caused pangaea to separate into several different landmassed forces from within earth resulted in some areas sinking below sea level and others rising up

Explanation:

The breakup of Pangaea is explained by plate tectonics, driven by convection currents in Earth's mantle (interior). These currents move tectonic plates, splitting the supercontinent. Option A's solar radiation/meteor impacts, B's weathering/erosion, and D's uneven sinking/rising do not align with the accepted geological cause.

Answer:

C. Convection in Earth's interior caused Pangaea to separate into several different landmasses
