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.
Why is the platypus good evidence for continental drift?
It is good evidence of continental drift as fossils of previous duck billed platypuses were found in America and Alaska, which Australia was once connected to. This means the platypuses once lived there hence evidence of continental drift.
What evidence from warm climate zones did Wegener use to form his theory of continental drift?
he found plants from antarctica that were the same as the ones from africa, proving they were once connected
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.
Which one of following pieces of evidence did wegener usee to support his theory of continental drift?
The 100% correct answer is A similar fossil was found in Africa, South America, Australia, India, and Antarctica.
The fact that similar fossils are found on both sides of the ocean is evidence of . global positioning oceanic drifts continental drift magnetic reversal?
"continental drift"
The fact that similar fossils are found on both sides of the ocean is evidence of .?
continental drift
What is the fact that similar fossils are found on the both sides of the ocean is evidence of?
continental drift
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.
What evidence of the continental drift comes from the Andes lining up with the south American mountain ranges?
Evidence that scientists found.
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.
Who was the person that that made a hypothesis of continental drift?
It was Alfred Wegener but other scientists did not believe him but he found evidence
Fossils of tropical plants found on an island in the Arctic Ocean are the evidence for Wegener's hypothesis of?
Continental drift
