Explain how mountain ranges can be used as evidence to support continental drift. What will be an ideal response?
A mountain range forms under the same geological conditions along its length. This means that the
same or nearly the same rock types are found along the range's length in the same or nearly the same
sequence. The processes that form mountain ranges tend to create somewhat linear elevated features.
So a mountain range that has been split, even if it has been separated by an ocean, is fairly easy to
recognize.
