Question

How does determining the age and composition of rocks on different continents increase scientists' understanding of Earth in the past?

A Rocks that have a similar age and composition on different continents help determine how
landmasses were once connected.
B Rocks that have a similar age and composition on different continents help determine where
the most volcanic and earthquake activity occurred.
C Rocks that have a similar age and composition on different continents help determine the
speed at which landmasses are moving.
D Rocks that have a similar age and composition on different continents help determine if both Locations had a similar climate in the past

A Rocks that have a similar age and composition on different continents help determine how landmasses were once connected. By studying the rocks on different continents and finding similarities in age and composition, scientists can piece together the history of the Earth's landmasses and how they have moved and shifted over time. This information can help scientists understand the formation of continents, the breakup of supercontinents, and the movements of tectonic plates throughout Earth's history. It provides valuable insight into the geological processes that have shaped the Earth over millions of years.
