Question

which indicates how evidence of climate change supports the theory of continental drift?
○ coal fields in several continents
○ volcano formation
○ glacial evidence found in south africa
○ folded mountains in africa and south america

Explanation:

To determine how climate change evidence supports continental drift, we analyze each option:

• Coal fields in several continents relate to plant life and paleontology, not direct climate - continental drift link.
• Volcano formation is about tectonic activity, not climate - continental drift connection.
• Glacial evidence in South Africa: South Africa's current climate is not glacial. Finding glacial evidence implies it was once in a glacial - climate region and moved, supporting continental drift.
• Folded mountains in Africa and South America show tectonic activity (mountain building) from continental collision, not climate - related evidence for drift.

Answer:

C. glacial evidence found in South Africa
