It is believed that the continents drifted apart. They were once all together as one piece and you could walk back and forth between the parts.

What 5 pieces of evidence continental drift?
1) Continental Puzzle 2) Matching Fossils 3) Rock Types and Structures 4) Ancient Climates
Name two types of evidence for continental drift and give examples of each type?
Plate tectonics and Pangaea you get evidence from ancient climate zones, land features, and fossils
Evidence for continental drift?
The existence in the fossil record of the same land species on several continents. Since these animals are not seafaring then the continents must have been connected at one time. Also continental drift is supported by vast empirical evidence.
What scientist proposed the first formal theory of continental drift?
Continental Drift was put forward by Alfred Wegener.(1880-1930). One piece of evidence on which he based his ideas was the similarity of shapes of the South American and African coastlines. Another was the fact that the same types of fossil are found in both places.
Which of the following provided evidence at first for the hypothesis of continental drift and layer for the theory of plate tectonics?
indicators of climate change matching rock types matching fossil remains go do some study island....
What types of evidence was used by Alfred Wegener to support his continental drift hypothesis?
human remains
What 5 pieces of evidence continental drift?
1) Continental Puzzle 2) Matching Fossils 3) Rock Types and Structures 4) Ancient Climates
What evidence did Alfred wegener have to support his theory of the continental drift?
he had 1.fossils 2.glacial indentations 3.different types of rocks
What 3 pieces of evidence did Alfred Wegener use to support his theory of continental drift?
he used fossils, glacial indentations, and different types of rock.

What types of information show that continental drift has occurred?
Maybe the depth of oceans

How does rock strata support the theory of continental drift?
Of itself "rock strata" does not. However the location of similar rock types does.
What 4 main types of evidence support continental drift theory?
1. continents that existed millions of years ago moved together. 2. when they collide they formed pangea.
