How does the temperature of the lithosphere and that of the asthenosphere affect those layers' rigidities and responses when force is applied?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Alfred Wegener provided several pieces of evidence supporting the idea that the planet's continents were once joined in a single landmass. List three of them.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: The lithosphere is cooler and more rigid, so will bend or break when force is applied. The asthenosphere is warmer and more pliable, so will flow when force is applied.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answers will vary but can include any three of the following:
- Jigsaw puzzle fit of the southern continents
- Matching fossils of multiple continents
- Matching mountain ranges across multiple continents
- Matching rock types across multiple continents
- Matching glacial debris on multiple continents
