Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following observations about landforms best supports the theory of plate tectonics? Impact craters have been found both on dry land and on the ocean floor.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which of following observations about landforms best supports the theoryplate tectonics? A Volcanoes are distributed randomly on every continent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Evidence from fossils, glaciers, and complementary coastlines helps reveal how the plates once fit together. Fossils tell us when and where plants and animals once existed. Some life “rode” on diverging plates, became isolated, and evolved into new species.
