Want this question answered?
shapes of the continents fit together. fossils of same dinosaur are found in different continents. same plant fossils in different continents.
Fossils of the same species can be found on continents that are now today separated by oceans. btw continental drift is a fact.
Some fossils of the same animals where found on different continents. The only way that may happen would be if the continents were attached.

Geology, Fossils, and Climate
explain how fossils support the theory of continental movement
well it wasn't so much climate as the fossils that have been found
It is not so much the climate, but it is the tectonic plates movement, and fossils of extincted animals on different continents that support this theory. Also, fossils support the theory of evolution that was proven by Charles Darwin.
He used evidence from landform, climate, and fossils to support his theory of the continental drift.
Fosssils of the same organism found on different continents support the theory of continental drift. Continents that are now separated by large oceans were once part of a single large continent.
Fossils provided evidence of past environments and indicated that different continents were once connected. Matching fossils found on separate continents suggested that they were once part of the same landmass. Additionally, the distribution of mountain belts across continents helped piece together the theory of continental drift and provided further support for the movement of continents.
