Which  of the following statements about wegener’s theory of continental drift is  false? a. continents were once part of a connected landmass called pangea. b.continents are still drifting today. c.continents have not moved in the last 250 million years. d.continents once fit together as part of a supercontinent.

C. Continents have not moved in the last 250 million years.

Explanation:

    Theory created by the German meteorologist Alfred Wegener, in which he stated that approximately 200 million years ago there was no separation between continents, ie there was a single continental mass called Pangeia and a single ocean, the Pantalassa.

    After millions of years there was a fragmentation emerging two megacontinents called Laurasia and Godwana, and from there the continents were moving and adapting to the current configurations.

    The crucial point for the development of the Continental Drift theory, which in its essence means the movement of continents, or moving plates, is the realization that the earth is not static. Then Wegener realized that the coast of Africa was contoured that fit the coast of South America.
