plate tectonics and Pangaea you get evidence from ancient climate zones,land features,and fossils! hope this helped! all credit goes to California Earth Science textbook for 6th graders.
Geologic Evidence For Continental Drift
Rocks in India, southern Africa, and Brazil contain deep scratches and scars that were formed by glaciers. But how could glaciers exist in places with such warm climates? The climates of these areas must have been much colder at one time. Scientists now know that these areas were part of a single land mass, or continent. It was located near the South Pole about 280 million years ago.

What are the best two place to look for evidence of continental drift?
africa and south america
Name two types of evidence for continental drift and give examples of each type?

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.
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 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.

Why would the fossil of an ocean fish found on two different continents not be good evidence for continental drift?
lol

Which two continents are used as evidence for the continental puzzle?
The continents of Africa and South America are often used as evidence for the continental puzzle due to their matching coastlines and geological features, suggesting they were once connected. This supports the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics.
What are two things that support the continental drift theory?
Two things that supports the continental drift theory are; 1. Fossil. 2. Continent Shapes.
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.
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
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
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.
What are two pieces of evidence for continental drift?
1. Fossils that can be found in many continents and cannot be explained for their presence in the present day we live in. (Such as the glossepteris species.) 2. Paleomagnetism
