Question 2

How do we know what goes on under the surface of the Sun?
 
  A) We have X-ray images from satellites of the interior of the Sun.
  B) Astronomers create mathematical models that use the laws of physics, the Sun's observed composition and mass, and computers to predict internal conditions.
  C) We have sent probes below the surface of the Sun.
  D) By measuring Doppler shifts, we observe vibrations of the Sun's surface that are created deep within the Sun.
  E) both B and D

Answer to Question 1

One possibility is that we should see evidence in ancient material such as particular rocks or fossils that various parts of the land that we see today were in very different environments in the past, e.g., fossils indicating that parts of Antarctica were once very warm or that rocks on the top of mountains were once underneath the sea. Another prediction is that we could actually measure the drift of the continents with very precise measurements, and this is indeed now possible with modern technology.
