Rock clues support Wegners theory of continental drift and Pangaea because when India hit Eurasia the Himalayas formed and that is where Mt Everest is today! Climate clues include glacial evidence in tropical places it shows glacial evidence that there was once glaciers there. Fossil clues in clue many tropical plants and animal fossils were found in places like Antarctica where these plants and animals could not grow. Also dinosaur bones were found scattered around there earth. Dinosaurs can't swim, so they must have walked around this way!

Do fossils and rocks support the hypothesis of continental drift?
yes it does, one fossil plant that helped support the hypothesis of the conentental drift is glossopteris.
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 are two things that support the continental drift theory?
Two things that supports the continental drift theory are; 1. Fossil. 2. Continent Shapes.
What was the fossil that was found on different continents and was used to support the theory of continental drift?
They found fossils of the Mesosaurus,Lystosaurus,and I believe the Cyrothagus.Sorry if t his is spelled wrong.

How did fossil provide evidence for Continental drift?
It is any trace of an ancient organism that has been preserved in rock.Fossils provided evidence for continental drift by Wegener's hypothesis. Wegener studied land features, fossils, and evidence of climate change.
What fossil plant helps support the continental drift?
Glossopteris
What fossil fern supported wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
The fossils were of Glossopteris (extinct seed ferns).

How do you know about continental drift?
Wegner developed this theory not only because many continents appear to fit together like a jigsaw, but also because he had fossil and climate evidence to support the fact that the continents once fit together.
