The world used to be very different. It used to be covered in water, allowing animals to swim to different continents. Either the animal died and sunk, or was stranded by the reducing waters and died that way. :)

What obeservation led Alfred Wegener to develop a hypothesis of continental drift?
I believe his first observation was the way the continents of South America and Africa "fit" together like a jigsaw puzzle (although he was not the first to realize this). He also made note of fossil discoveries in Africa which corresponded to those in South America. Finally, he began his own research which actually alligned rock formation/componants from one side of the Atlantic with the other.
What does the fossil record show about how life has change over time?
The fossil record shows that there was many different species that were here on Earth millions of years ago and are now extinct. It also provides evidence about the past climate or whether the fossil was found in a shallow bay, and ocean bottom, or a freshwater swamp. Next time, don't ask wiki for answers to your homework. Do it yourself. ;)
