30sS9ES –Ia-j-36.6 - Q5
How does fossil evidence support Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
Glacial deposits are found in tropical and subtropical zones.
Similar fossils of giant, land-dwelling dinosaurs are found on continents separated by oceans.
Variety of fossils are found along continental margins that fit together.
Fossils of humans are found in continents of America and Africa.
30sS9ES –Ia-j-36.6 - Q6
All the statements support Wegener’s theory of continental drift EXCEPT
Glacial deposits found in Antarctica were also found in Africa and India.
The variety of samples of rocks from South America and Africa were different from each other.
The edges of the eastern side of South America and the western side of Africa fit together.
Fossils of the Lystrosaurus were found in Antarctica, South America, and Africa.
30sS9ES –Ia-j-36.6 - Q7
An evidence that supports Wegener’s theory of continental drift is that ____.
land bridges still exist that connect major continents
the same magnetic directions exist on different continents
major rivers on different continents match
fossils of the same organism have been found on different continent
30sS9ES –Ia-j-36.6 - Q8
It is an event in which the Earth’s magnetic field changes direction
Magnetic reversal
Polar reversal
Field reversal
Polarity reversal
30sS9ES –Ia-j-36.6 - Q9
Which is TRUE about the polarity of rocks that solidified from mid-ocean ridges?
Solidified rocks polarity differs from the Earth’s magnetic field.
Solidified rocks align its magnetic field with the Earth’s magnetic field.
Solidified rocks polarity opposes the Earth’s magnetic field.
30sS9ES –Ia-j-36.6 - Q10
How magnetic striping on the seafloor provide evidence of seafloor spreading?
Rocks found far from the oceanic ridge are older compared to those found near it suggesting formation at a different time.
Magnetic polarities of the old and young rocks found on the ocean floor are the same.
The same age of rocks is found on the seafloor with different magnetic polarities.
Rocks found in different areas of the oceanic ridge show same polarity at different times.
