Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

CONTINENTAL DRIFT THEORY

The theory of continental drift relates to the Earth’s continents and their relative movement in association with each other It supports that the Earth’s continents were once joined as one large landmass which split into the continents we recognize today It also puts forth that the

Earth’s crust is constantly moving, both vertically and horizontally, and its movements in

relation to each other are responsible for continental drift The theory that explains these movements is called “plate tectonics”.

This theory was initially discredited as faulty by most scientists after Alfred Wegner formally

published his hypothesis on continental drift in 1915 It was not until the 1950’s that his theory

was revived and further research into continental drift began Today, most geophysicists

accept the continental drift theory, along with the theory of plate tectonics

Evidence for the continental drift theory is supposed by several factors For one, large

landmasses seem to “fit together” like a huge puzzle More evidence that continents were at one time linked together comes from identical fossil remains of plants and animals found on opposing continental sea shores Also, several temperate climate fossilized faunas have been discovered in Antarctica indicating the possibility that this continent was at one time closer to

equator, whereas the lack of such findings would have possibly dissuaded scientists from

further study into continental drift

Trang 6

One of the major reasons why Wegner’s original theory did not receive acceptance in his

lifetime was his failure to explain the type of forces that could move such large masses of land Initially, he hypothesized that tidal forces caused the land masses to drift However, scientists

at the time noted that tidal forces strong enough to move continents would stop Earth’s

rotation within one year.

The final acceptance of part of Wegner’s theory in the mid-20 th century was direct result of further evidence of drift found on the ocean floor Eventually, this new evidence led to the theory of plate tectonics The idea that massive plates lay under the Earth’ s crust, and that these plates are in a constant state of movement because they exist directly above a superhot, liquid form of Earth, is widely accepted by the scientific community today.

B: Fossilized animal matter that could only grow in warm weather had been discovered on a continent that is now very cold, which lent support to continental drift theory.

to be much closer to the equator.
