which statement describes one of wegeners ideas that contributed to the theory of continental drift?
the continents drifted apart due to repeated meteor impacts.
the continents were once connected as one landmass.
the continents have moved apart very quickly due to earthquakes.
the continents are magnetically pulled toward or pushed away from one another.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Wegener's continental drift theory proposed that continents were once part of a single supercontinent (Pangaea). Meteor impacts weren't his focus. Continents move slowly (not quickly due to earthquakes). Magnetic forces weren't his main idea. His key concept was the past landmass connection.

Answer:

The continents were once connected as one landmass.
