Question
which of these statements describe how geologists created a model of pangaea? i. they reversed the movements of the continents from their modern positions, following the theory of plate tectonics. ii. they used maps made at the time when the continents were together. iii. they assumed that forces today were the same in the past. o i and ii only o i and iii only o i, ii, and iii o ii and iii only
Geologists use the theory of plate tectonics to reverse - engineer the positions of continents. They assume uniformitarianism (forces today were the same in the past). There are no maps from when Pangaea existed. Statement I is correct as they reverse - move continents following plate tectonics. Statement III is correct due to the principle of uniformitarianism.
