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 fact that similar fossils are found on the both sides of the ocean is evidence of?
continental drift
Why is cynognathus a good candidate for providing evidence for the continental drift theory?
Its fossils are found in many different places like South America and Africa which support the theory of continental drift.
How does Continental Drift work?
continental drift is when continents drift. They all formed from pangea, a super continent. Evidence to support this is the fossils of the cynognathus, mesosaurus and the lystrosaurus.
What is theory for fossils of tropical plants found on an island in the arctic ocean?
the theory called the "continental drift" hypothesized that all the continents were once a huge supercontinent but then eventually over time spread apart. this is ALFRED WEGENER (veh-gen-er) HYPOTHESIS IN 1910.
How are fossils useful evidence of continental drift?

How can you explain the fossils after continental drift?
the same fossils were found on different continents
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.
What are the ways that fossils helped support the hypothesis of 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.
What are the ways fossils help support the hypothesis of continental drift?

What fossils prove continental drift true?
Scientists have found the same types of fossils on the west coast of Africa and the east coast of South America that have only been found in those areas.
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.
What kind of plant fossils have been found to prove continental drift and where have they been found?

How fossils provide evidence for the Continental drift?
The scientists that found the fossils found that were found on different continents. Some of the same fossil were located on each Continent that could only survive in one climate. Therefore, a fossil provided some evidence for the continental drift to be true.
