Caves are a type of island ecosystem according to the theory of island biogeography.
Intermediate forms are predicted by evolutionary science in several ways. Their presence supports the theory of evolution.
Fossil Record the ordered array in which fossils appear within layers of sedimentary rocks. Comparative Anatomy comparison of body structures in different species, which give signs of common descent. Biogeography the geographical distribution of species.
It's not. Actually, biogeography, the geographic arrangement of convergent and divergently evolved species supports the theory of evolution by natural selection. Wallace, who really developed bio-geographic theory, first noticed this event well and incorporated it into his theory of evolution by natural selection, but this phenomenon did not escape Darwin's notice either.
Scientists did not prove things then anymore than they prove things now. Evidence, masses of converging evidence support the theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin, in his day, had much evidence to support his theory. All the way from artificial selection to island biogeography. Since that time the theory has moved on to where it is no longer just Darwin's theory, but modified and supported with so much evidence that the theory became the bedrock of biology.

Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species (biology) spatially (geography) and temporally (history). Biogeography aims to reveal where organisms live, at what abundance, and why they are or are no) found in a certain geographical area. Biogeography does not support the theory of evolution any more then when (history) you (biology) moved into your house (geography).
explain how fossils support the theory of continental movement
Fossils support his hypothesis.
Lyell
no he developed evolutionary theory
fossils

He used fossils,climate changes,and landforms to support his theory.
Alfred Russel Wallace, a British naturalist, independently conceived the theory of evolution through natural selection around the same time as Charles Darwin. His work on biogeography and observations of natural history contributed to the development of evolutionary theory.
There have been many fossils of intermediate types discovered that provide strong support for the theory of common descent.
It is not so much the climate, but it is the tectonic plates movement, and fossils of extincted animals on different continents that support this theory. Also, fossils support the theory of evolution that was proven by Charles Darwin.
