2.According to the theory of continental drift, all of the world’s continents were once connected as one large landmass and have, over the course of hundreds of millions of years, drifted apart into the positions they occupy today. Do the results of this activity support the theory of continental drift? If so, how? Explain your answer.

Yes, the statement given in the question justifies the theory of continental drift.

Explanation:

Continental drift is a theory which explains the shifting of the continents over time by drifting across the ocean. The evidence of the continental drift is the plant and animal fossils along with the rock formation founded as somewhat same in different continents. The idea of Continental drifts developed under Alfred Wegener in 1912. He stated that all of the continents were once part of a single enormous landmass called Pangaea. He was able to give his theory by studying fossils of animals, plants, reptiles that found in different continents. For example, fossils of Mesosaurus (ancient reptilia) only found in South America and the southern part of Africa.
