Question
which coal field location is related to coal fields in the united states and supports the theory of continental drift?
○ india
○ africa
○ australia
○ europe
The theory of continental drift suggests that continents were once joined. Coal fields in Europe (specifically in regions like the Carboniferous coal fields) have geological similarities to coal fields in the United States, supporting the idea that these landmasses were once connected. Africa, India, and Australia's coal fields don't have the same direct geological connection to US coal fields in support of continental drift as Europe does (considering the former supercontinent and geological matching of coal - bearing rock layers and formations).
