The diagram below shows the position of the Earth’s continents today. In 1912 Alfred Wegener suggested that all the continents must once have been joined together as one big land mass. Diagrams A, B and C show the position of the Earth’s continents 50 million, 100 million and 150 million years ago, but not necessarily in that order. Give the letter, A, B or C, of the diagram which shows the position of the Earth’s continents 150 million years ago.

Type your answer, then reveal.

Wegener’s theory of continental drift was not accepted by other scientists until several years after his death in 1930. The evidence to support his theory was found in 1960 when part of the ocean floor was surveyed around a plate boundary. The table shows data collected from the survey. | Distance of ocean floor from plate boundary (km) | Approximate age of rock (million years) | | 2000 | 100 | Calculate the mean speed at which the ocean floor is spreading. mean speed (km/million years) = distance (km) / time (million years) Mean speed = ____ km/million years
