What are climate clues?
Climate clues include changes in weather patterns. The abundance or disappearance of certain plant and animal species can also provide important climate clues.
Describe how rock clues were used to support the hypothesis of continental drift?
parts of the Appalachian Mountain of the eastern US are similar to those found in Greenland and western Europe. Rock clues like these support the idea that the continents were connected in the past.
How did wegener use climate clues to support his hypotheseis about continental drift?
he used climate clues and fossil clues and rock clues to figure out for example he found that it was warm in the south and the north and he founddinosaurs fossils on different continents and he found out that there was the same rocks on different continents there so that answers your question.
What were the clues used to prove continental drift?
South America and Africa fit togther like a puzzle piece
Is plate tectonics the main lines of evidence are fossils climate clues rock and the theory of seafloor spreading?
Plates tectonics
Describe How did wegener use climate clues to support his hypothesis of continental drift?
well it wasn't so much climate as the fossils that have been found
Clues that support continental drifts?
glacial deposits
How were rock clues were used to support the hypothesis of continental drift?
I don't know. :p
How do the shapes of different coastlines support continental?
fossils of once living things provide clues that support contenental drift
How do rock climate and fossil clues support the hypothesis of continental drift?
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!

What evidence do the scientists have to support the idea that continents were once a large landmass?
The evidence scientists have are fossil clues, plant clues, climate clues and rock clues. Fossil clues supported the idea because a certain fossil the Mesosaurus was found in two continents on opposite sides of the Earth and the only reason for that is if the lands came together at one time. Plant clues support the idea the same way fossil clues do, like the plant called a Glossopteris was found in different areas around the world. Climate clues support the idea because some of the fossils and plants from warmer climates were found in the Arctic. That explains why there are glaciers in tropical areas. Lastly rock clues support the idea because if the continents were once connected at one time, then the rocks that made up the continents should be in the same locations where they were joined.

How can fossils be clues to the continental drift?
Solar winds.
