Question

which continents contain folded mountains that match up to form one continuous mountain chain, serving as evidence that they once belonged to one landmass called pangaea?
○ antarctica and africa
○ africa and north america
○ south america and africa
○ eurasia and south america

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The theory of continental drift and Pangaea states that South America and Africa were once part of the same landmass. The folded mountain ranges (like the Appalachian - related ranges in Africa and the Andes - related in South America's past connection) match up when the continents are re - positioned as they were in Pangaea. Antarctica and Africa don't have matching folded mountain chains for this, Africa and North America's mountain chains don't match in this context, and Eurasia and South America also don't have the matching folded mountain evidence for Pangaea's connection.

Answer:

South America and Africa
