Question

alfred wegener suggested that earths continents are moving. which evidence supports this theory?
different types of rocks on opposite coasts
revolution of the earth
close geometric correspondence of continental coastlines
similarities in human fossils

Explanation:

To determine the evidence supporting Wegener's continental drift theory:

• "Different types of rocks on opposite coasts" does not support drift (similar rocks would be more relevant).
• "Revolution of the Earth" relates to orbit, not continental movement.
• "Close geometric correspondence of continental coastlines" (e.g., South America and Africa fitting like puzzle pieces) is a key visual evidence Wegener used for continental drift.
• "Similarities in human fossils" is incorrect as humans evolved after continents drifted significantly, and fossil evidence for drift is from ancient organisms, not humans.

Answer:

C. close geometric correspondence of continental coastlines
