D
the current climate

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is A. the fit of the continents

Explanation:

A. the fit of the continents provides evidence that the Earth's crust is indeed made up of tectonic plates.

The Earth's crust including the oceans and the continent, rests on tectonic plates such as:

  • the African plate
  • Antarctic plate
  • Caribbean plate
  • Eurasian plate and others

These plates are constantly in motion albeit at a very reduced speed. They are moving away from each other which is why continents today are so far apart.

The evidence of this is that the continents of the Earth look as though they were all together at some point especially South America and Africa. As the plates began to move however, they were separated.

In conclusion, the fact that the continents fit into each other is proof that the plate tectonics theory is real.
