What evidence is there to suggest that the earth is composed of tectonic plates?
question 1 options:

the presence of a ring of “fire, hot spots, and the locations of earthquakes are some kinds of evidence that indicate plates exist and move. data from seafloor spreading is another kind of data. the presence of fossils indicates that two land masses that once were close are now far apart. mountain ranges that once were part of the same range are now on different continents. all of these indicates plates exist and move.

the tectonic plates are cracked up due to the frequency of earthquakes and scientists can see and measure these cracks. the cracks are the proof that the earth is made up of tectonic plates.

All of these indicate plates exist and move.

Explanation:

The Ring of Fire, hot spots, and the locations of earthquakes draw a pattern on the surface of geologic activity underground. Seafloor spreading is proof of tectonic plates because it increases the area of some oceans and decreases the area of others. Magma from the mantle pushes the plates apart. The case of matching fossils in parts of South America and Africa is consistent with the theory that at one point the continents were joined together. According to seafloor spreading, the Atlantic Ocean is young and is still growing. The same principle applies to mountain ranges now found on two continents that used to be on the same one. It is thought that the Appalachian mountains were connected to Europe and Africa.
