Fossils, Climate, and Sea-Floor Spreading
What evidence is presented to support the theory that Pangaea actually existed?
Well, the main answer to this question are the fossils. Since fossils were found in different parts of the world and those fossils are of the same breed or species. Because having the same species in different locations are quite... Unusual, Alfred Wegener developed this theory. Searching for other evidences to prove his theory, he found that pieces of land from another place to another fit's perfectly like a piece of puzzle. This is the second answer to this question.
