Respuesta: Los glaciares causaron la erosión

Explicación: La deriva continental era una teoría que explicaba cómo los continentes cambian su ubicación en la superficie terrestre. Propuesta en 1912 por Alfred Wegener, un geofísico y meteorólogo, la deriva continental también aclaraba por qué se encuentran fósiles de animales y plantas parecidos, así como formaciones rocosas similares, en distintos continentes.

La teoría de la deriva continental

Wegener pensaba que todos los continentes estuvieron una vez unidos formando un "Urkontinent" antes de separarse y desplazarse hacia sus posiciones actuales. Sin embargo, los geólogos rechazaron rotundamente la teoría de Wegener tras publicar los detalles en un libro de 1915 titulado "El origen de los continentes y océanos." Parte de la oposición se debía a que Wegener no contaba con un modelo adecuado que explicara cómo se movían los continentes.
