Question

classify these phenomena into those supporting continental drift and those not supporting it. supporting drift drop category items here not supporting drift drop category items here glacial deposits tidal changes seasonal temperatures matching fossils drag items to bins.

Explanation:

• Glacial deposits: Glacial deposits can show that continents were once in different positions (closer to the poles where glaciers formed) which supports continental drift.
• Tidal changes: Tidal changes are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans. They have no relation to the movement of continents (continental drift).
• Seasonal temperatures: Seasonal temperatures are due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun. This is not related to continental movement.
• Matching fossils: Matching fossils of the same species found on different continents suggest that those continents were once connected (as the species couldn't cross vast oceans), supporting continental drift.

Answer:

• Supporting Drift: Glacial deposits, Matching fossils
• Not Supporting Drift: Tidal changes, Seasonal temperatures
