Which of these is not a line of evidence in support of plate tectonics or continental drift?
1) symmetrical pattern of magnetic reversals recorded as alternating stripes in
the ocean crust
2)
the coastlines of the continents look as if they could fit together like a jigsaw
puzzle
3) tracks of hot spots, such as the Hawaiian Island-Emperor Seamont chain
4) data obtained from GPS (global positioning system) satellites
5)
different rock types and mountain belts on opposite sides of the Atlantic
Ocean

Different rock types and mountain belts on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

Explanation:

The plate tectonics theory is a theory that suggests that Earth's crust is divided into numerous pieces that are constantly moving, driven by the force of the convection currents from the mantle below them. It is a theory that has been put in the spotlight by Wegener, and gradually, with more and more evidence being put on the table, it became a widely accepted theory.

The evidence consists of fossils, sea-floor spreading, hot spot island arcs, matching continental margins, the same type of rocks from the same age in different continents, etc. The latter is evidence that tells us that mountains, now on different continents, were actually part of a single mountain range, but over time were separated. Such is the example with the Appalachians on one side, and the mountains of Greenland, Ireland, Britain, and Norway, all having the same rocks with the same composition, formed at the same time.

there's multiple reasons why the conquistadors were so successful in colonizing central america, and some of them are:

- they were seen as gods;

at the beginning, the spanish settlers were seen by the natives as gods, and this was mainly due to their white skin, and the way they came with their boats.

- possessed superior weaponry;

the spanish had gunpowder and guns, as well as cannons, while the natives did not had any fire weapons.

- made cleaver alliances;

they used the situation of tribes hating each other, so they made alliances with some of them which served them very well.

- brought diseases;

the native people were not immune to certain diseases the europeans brought with them, so they were dying from seeming harmless things for european standards.

sediment layers stop spreading when they reach a barrier or they run out of sedimentary material. lateral spreading is the movement of gently to steeply sloping, saturated soil deposits caused by earthquake-induced liquefaction. i hope this . : )
