99. New theories propose that catastrophic impacts of asteroids and comets may have caused reversals in the Earth's magnetic field, the onset of ice ages, splitting apart continents 80 million years ago, and great volcanic eruptions.
(B) the splitting apart of continents
答案到是选对了。但想问一下,80 million years ago什么翻译?是说“引起8亿年前形成的大陆分开”么?如果我这个理解是对的,那是不是也省略了太多东西呀?看了好几遍这题了,这个地方总有疑惑。谢谢NN帮忙指点一下。
