Scientists often use models to study the movement of continents. Why might scientists use a model to show this movement? A. Extremely fast movement is not easily observed directly. B. Extremely slow movement is not easily observed directly. C. Extremely complex movement is not easily observed directly. D. Extremely dangerous movement is not easily observed directly.

Paleontologists have argued for a long time that the demise of the dinosaurs was caused by climatic alterations associated with slow changes in the positions of continents and seas resulting from plate tectonics. Off and on throughout the Cretaceous (the last period of the Mesozoic era, during which dinosaurs flourished), large shallow seas covered extensive areas of the continents. Data from diverse sources, including geochemical evidence preserved in seafloor sediments, indicate that the Late Cretaceous climate was milder than today's. The days were not too hot, nor the nights too cold. The summers were not too warm, nor the winters too frigid. The shallow seas on the continents probably buffered the temperature of the nearby air, keeping it relatively constant.
