Will give brainliest. due now! which explanations provide support for continental drift theory? check all that apply. dinosaurs lived on many continents. coal fields match up across continents. tropical plant fossils were found in arctic areas. similar rock types are found across continents. evidence of glaciers can be found in south africa.

The correct answers are:

•Dinosaurs lived on many continents.

•Evidence of glaciers can be found in South Africa.

Continental drift is a theory that explains movements of continents relative to one another. Scientists supporting this theory explain that at a certain moment of time, there was only one continent but they split. One of their evidence for this is the matching between Southern America and West Africa.

Another important evidence are the fossils found on separate continents and in no other regions (fossil transfer between those lands is impossible because of the extensive oceans between them are a huge barrier). Fossil examples include the reptiles: Mesosaurus, Cynognathus, Lystrosaurus, and woody tree - Glossopteris.

Glacier striations found in South America, Africa, India, and Australia indicate that glaciation occurred at the same time in these continents and the direction of the glacier suggest the ice flowed from a single central point.
