Wegener discovered that fossils in the west of Africa and the east of South America were exactly the same, and the only way of them being so was that the two continents were originally parts of the same land mass, which he named Pangaea. He also found the same with rock types in all continental plates, and he noticed that all continents fit together like a jigsaw.
I learnt that on Thursday in science!

Are fossils evidence of continental drift?
Yes.
How can fossils be clues to the continental drift?
Solar winds.
How are fossils useful evidence of continental drift?
Fossil are important to the Continental drift because fossils were found in areas where they should not have been found. Like across the world.
What is the evidence against continental drift?
They are plants, Rock, and fossils
What was used to by Wegner to establish continental drift?
Mesosaurus fossils
How do fossils help explain continental drift?
loo
How can you explain the fossils after continental drift?
the same fossils were found on different continents
33 What was the name of the floral fossils Wegener used for the idea of continental drift?
The name of the floral fossils Wegner used for the idea of continental drift was glossopteris. Alfred Wegner used the continental drift as a way to explain the continental shapes.
Are fossils evidence of continental drift?
Yes.
What did Alfred Weneger try to prove?
Alfred Weneger was trying to prove his theory of Continental Drift. Many other scientists before him had the same theory, but they never could prove it. He had five pieces of evidence.
How can fossils be clues to the continental drift?
Solar winds.
Whtat ways do the fossils help support the hypothesis of continental drift?
what ways do fossils hepl support the hypothesis of the continental drift?ANSWER: fossil plants like glossopteris.
What are the ways that fossils helped support of the continental drift?
Fossils of the same species can be found on continents that are now today separated by oceans. btw continental drift is a fact.

How can fossils help show that continental drift happened?
It can help show that continental drift happened, if you find the same fossils on different continents. This would mean that the continents had to be close together if the fossils are found on land.
