question 11 of 25
which of the following supports the theory of continental drift?
a. earth has hot climates at the equator.
b. there is one continent on earth.
c. earths crust is all in one piece.
d. the same fossils are found on different continents.

Explanation:

The theory of continental drift suggests that continents were once joined and have since moved apart. Fossils of the same species found on different continents support this as it implies those continents were once connected (so the species could inhabit the area before the continents drifted apart). Option A is about climate at the equator which is not relevant to continental drift. Option B is incorrect as there are multiple continents. Option C is wrong as Earth's crust is made of tectonic plates (not one piece).

Answer:

D. The same fossils are found on different continents.
