Multiple Choice
What does the plate reconstruction, with the Atlantic Ocean closed up, do to the apparent polar wandering paths for Eurasia and North America, and what can we infer from this?
A) It really indicates that, because opposite polarities attract, the curves became stuck together.
B) It makes them overlap but they are still strangely curved, implying the poles have still shifted so continental drift doesn't solve anything.
C) It indicates that the poles drift counterclockwise with time, implying Earth used to revolve the other way.
D) It makes them coincide, demonstrating that the opening of the Atlantic was the cause for the divergence seen today.
