What are the best two place to look for evidence of continental drift?
africa and south america
What are two things that support the continental drift theory?
Two things that supports the continental drift theory are; 1. Fossil. 2. Continent Shapes.
Name two types of evidence for continental drift and give examples of each type?
Plate tectonics and Pangaea you get evidence from ancient climate zones, land features, and fossils
What two ways is the plate tectonic theory different from the ideas of the continental drift?
It isnt its the same thing-plate tectonics create the idea of continental drift.
Give two types of evidence for continental drift with an example of each type?
It is believed that the continents drifted apart. They were once all together as one piece and you could walk back and forth between the parts.
Name two pieces of evidence that scientists have used to base the Continental Drift Theory on?
i dont even kno ok you people shouldf know

Give an example of evidence from land features that supported wegeners idea of continetal drift?
There are several pieces of evidence from land features which support Wegener's idea of continental drift. One example is that if you line up the maps of South America and Africa you will see that the mountain ranges line up, which is strong evidence that the two continents were once one.
Why would the fossil of an ocean fish found on two different continents not be good evidence for continental drift?
lol

Why would the fossils of an ocean fish found on two diffrent continents would not be good evidence of continental drift?
Fossil of an ocean fish found on two different continents would not be good evidence of continental drift because Fossils of land animals are a better piece of evidence of continental drift than fish.

Plate tectonics and Pangaea you get evidence from ancient climate zones, land features, and fossils
What are two forms of evidence used to support the continental drift theory?
The first one is fossils and the second is the unusual jigsaw puzzle of the continents when they were put together.
Two contradictory beliefs to continental drift?
i looked for this answer for an hour

It isnt its the same thing-plate tectonics create the idea of continental drift.
What kind of information or items did Alfred Wegener use to theorize Pangaea?
Wagner proved mostly the theory of Continental Drift. He found evidence from matching the continents like puzzle pieces, also finding tropical plants in Antartica. Also animal species on two continents in the same place in the "puzzle"
What is conti nentaldrift?
Continental drift is the drift of continents. The earth consists of large plates floating on a ball of molten rock. Such a plate is called a tectonic plate, and since they float, they can float a way. This is called continental drift. Continental drift is one of the main causes of earthquakes. Earthquakes especially happen when two continental plates are shifting next to each other.
