Question

which indicates how evidence of climate change supports the theory of continental drift?
○ coal fields in several continents
○ volcano formation
○ glacial evidence found in south africa
○ folded mountains in africa and south america

Explanation:

To determine how climate change evidence supports continental drift, we analyze each option:

• Coal fields in several continents: Coal formation relates to past vegetation, not direct climate - continental drift link.
• Volcano formation: Volcanoes are related to tectonic activity, not climate - continental drift connection.
• Glacial evidence in South Africa: South Africa is in a warm climate now. Glacial evidence implies it was once near the South Pole (colder climate), showing the continent moved (continental drift).
• Folded mountains in Africa and South America: These show tectonic collision, not climate - drift link.

Answer:

C. glacial evidence found in South Africa
