Question

which statements describe evidence of continental drift? check all that apply. deserts line up when continents are pushed together. mountain ranges often appear on the edges of continents. fossils of the same animals appear on different continents. tropical plants currently appear in both antarctica and south america. wegeners theories were accepted by most geologists in the 1960s. explorers discovered the edges of continents they did not know about.

Explanation:

Fossils of the same animals on different continents suggest they were once connected, which is evidence of continental drift. Mountains ranges on edges of continents can be part of larger ranges that got separated by drift. Tropical plants currently in Antarctica and South - America imply that the continents were once in a more tropical position together. Deserts lining up when continents are pushed together is not a key evidence of drift. Wegener's theories were not widely accepted in the 1960s. Explorers discovering new edges of continents is not evidence of drift.

Answer:

• Fossils of the same animals appear on different continents.
• Mountain ranges often appear on the edges of continents.
• Tropical plants currently appear in both Antarctica and South America.
