∙ 14y agoFossils provide a window in Earth's history by showing us how life existed in the past. They can be dated through several ways and can show us how animals and plants have evolved over millions of years. Also, fossils can help us better understand ancient disasters by the inclusion of elements (such as volcanic ash or dust from major space object impacts) and how they affected the life on earth.

What evidence did wegener gather to support his continental drift hypothesis?
Well it wasn't so much climate as the fossils that have been found. Fossils have been found in Antarctica of plants that only occur in tropical climates so at one point it must have had a tropical climate. That is the most dramatic example but there are more subtle ones that led him to believe that the continents, at one point, must have been in different locations on the Earth and then moved to where they currently are.
