This task is about shifting continents and plate tectonics.
The diagram represents landmasses as they now appear. These landmasses originally made up the super-continent called Gondwanaland.
Scientists have used many types of evidence to support the theory of continental drift (or plate tectonics).
| a) |
Use the information from the diagram above and your own knowledge to describe fully the evidence that would indicate that these landmasses were once joined, i.e., part of the super-continent of Gondwanaland.
