How can you explain the fossils after continental drift?
the same fossils were found on different continents
How did alfred wegener explain simular fossils on different continents?
he explained it to be because the animals fell in holes and died.
Paleontologists noticed that these were the same on different continents even though the continents were separated by ocean?
The same rocks and minerals from the same batch, dinosaur fossils dating back to the same time periods, natural landforms and structures can be found on completely separate continents. This evidence supports the Plate Techtonics and Continental Drift theories.
Can you describe 3 clues that support the idea of continental drift?
shapes of the continents fit together. fossils of same dinosaur are found in different continents. same plant fossils in different continents.
What were Alfred Wegners evidence about the continental drift?
His eviendence (and since he didn't have enough) was that he found eviendence on fossils land scape trenches and when he put the continents all together than he saw that the continents fit like a jigsaw puzzle and called it pangea.
How did fossils provide evidence for continents drifts?
because if the same fossils were found in the same spot but on two different continents and if you put the continents together like a puzzle and the fossils were in the same spot, it would mean the continents drifted apart.
How can fossils help show that continental drift happened?
It can help show that continental drift happened, if you find the same fossils on different continents. This would mean that the continents had to be close together if the fossils are found on land.
How did fossils help support the hypothesis of continental drift?
Some fossils of the same animals where found on different continents. The only way that may happen would be if the continents were attached.
A 7 letter word where paleontologists noticed that these were the same on different continents even though the continents were separated by oceans?
fossils
Why permian fossils are important in understanding plate tectonics?
Paleontologists use a land bridge between continents to explain the existence of identical fossils that are spread out on separated land masses. They contend that the continents were once connected but have since drifted apart.
How did fossils provide evidence for contental drift?
Because, similar fossils could be found on different continents, in rocks of the same age.
