1. What evidence is there that South America and Africa were once joined?
2. Earthquakes are caused by____.
3. The Atlantic Ocean has a divergent boundary. It has basically no convergent boundaries. The Atlantic Ocean is a _____.
4. ______ are like a window into the mantle (ie. they give us info about the mantle) because they form in the mantle and are brought tot he surface by igneous intrusions called kimberlite pipes.
1). There is a number of facts that support that South America and Africa was together. The first is it's zig - saw for of coastlines. Second is the fossils collected in both are quite similar. Thirdly the rock structures and paleoclimatic evidence suggests that. So all these show that they were together in the past.
2). Stress release in the earth layers.
They are caused when parts of Earth layers move or drift after pressure has built, and it is release.
3). Spreading Ocean.
Because it has only divergent boundaries that means the sea floor is spreading and the area of the Ocean in increasing.
4). DIAMONDS.

Could someone please check my answers? 1. A researcher uncovers a fossil in South America that looks quite similar to a species that currently lives in Africa but does not resemble other South American species. The climate and vegetation in the two locations are very different. What is the MOST likely explanation? A. The fossil must have been transported across the ocean during storms. B. The species are probably not closely related due to convergent evolution. C. There was probably...
