Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Glacial striations are gouges or grooves that scratch the ground surface as a glacier moves over the land surface. They reveal the direction of ice flow. Wegener used striations on several different continents to show that at one time the continents had been joined together.
