Which of the following is NOT evidence of plate tectonics?

1. distribution of fossils
2. location of earthquakes
3. rain forest depletion
4. the shape of the continents

Respuesta :

Number 2 rain forest depletion.

Rain forest depletion is not evidence of plate tectonics.  

Plate tectonics is responsible for the distribution of fossils on distinct continents, for the continental and ocean floor features comprising volcanoes, mountains, trenches, and faults, for the occurrence of earthquakes, and the shape of the continents.  

• On different continents, the fossils are identical to the fossils found on the continents, which were once connected.  

• The majority of the oceanic and continental floor features are the outcome of the earthquake and geological activity along the plate boundaries.  

The depletion of rainforest is not a result of plate tectonics. The major reason for rainforest depletion are agriculture and fuelwood collection.  

• Apart from this, some of the human activities like logging, mining, development of large dams and industry is also major cause of rainforest depletion.  

Thus, rainforest depletion is not evidence of plate tectonics.
