indicators of climate change matching rock types matching fossil remains go do some study island....
How is the hypothesis about Earth's earliest life forms consistent with fossil evidence?
I know you have a textbook so use it
How do rock climate and fossil clues support the hypothesis of continental drift?
Rock clues support Wegners theory of continental drift and Pangaea because when India hit Eurasia the Himalayas formed and that is where Mt Everest is today! Climate clues include glacial evidence in tropical places it shows glacial evidence that there was once glaciers there. Fossil clues in clue many tropical plants and animal fossils were found in places like Antarctica where these plants and animals could not grow. Also dinosaur bones were found scattered around there earth. Dinosaurs can't swim, so they must have walked around this way!
