II. Matching Type: Identify which evidence is being described in each number. Write only the letter of your answer on the blank.

A B

______ 29. According to this theory, hot, less dense material from below the Earth’s crust rises A. Coal Deposits
towards the surface at the mid-ocean ridge.
B. Continental Jigsaw
______30. Also known as the magnetic ‘flip’ of the Earth. It happens when the Magnetic North Pole
Is transformed into a Magnetic South Pole and the Magnetic South Pole becomes the
