Question

match the evidence of plate tectonics with the reasoning why it is evidence
drag & drop the answer
evidence of fossils from the same organisms are found on continents an ocean apart.
the seafloor is spreading apart and new seafloor is forming where it is spreading. the old seafloor goes back into the mantle.
the shape of continents like south america and africa seemed to fit together.

Explanation:

1. The first image (seafloor spreading with magma) matches the reasoning about seafloor spreading (new seafloor forming, old going to mantle) because it depicts the process of seafloor spreading at a mid - ocean ridge.
2. The second image (South America and Africa continent shapes) matches the reasoning about continental shapes fitting together as it shows the two continents that appear to fit like a puzzle.
3. The third image (Pangaea - like supercontinent) matches the reasoning about fossils from the same organisms on separate continents. This is because the existence of a supercontinent in the past would explain how organisms could have lived across areas that are now separated by oceans, leading to their fossils being found on different continents.

Answer:

• First image (seafloor spreading diagram) → The seafloor is spreading apart and new seafloor is forming where it is spreading. The old seafloor goes back into the mantle.
• Second image (South America and Africa continents) → The shape of continents like South America and Africa seemed to fit together.
• Third image (Pangaea - like map) → Evidence of fossils from the same organisms are found on continents an ocean apart.
