How does rock strata support the theory of continental drift?
Of itself "rock strata" does not. However the location of similar rock types does.
What evidence did Alfred wegener have to support his theory of the continental drift?
he had 1.fossils 2.glacial indentations 3.different types of rocks
What 3 pieces of evidence did Alfred Wegener use to support his theory of continental drift?
he used fossils, glacial indentations, and different types of rock.
What fossils prove continental drift true?
Scientists have found the same types of fossils on the west coast of Africa and the east coast of South America that have only been found in those areas.
What are the two main types of glacial drift?

What scientist proposed the first formal theory of continental drift?
Continental Drift was put forward by Alfred Wegener.(1880-1930). One piece of evidence on which he based his ideas was the similarity of shapes of the South American and African coastlines. Another was the fact that the same types of fossil are found in both places.
How fossils support the theory of continental drift?
We find matching types of ancient fossils separated on coinciding land masses across the Atlantic Ocean, where Brazil would abut Africa.
Evidence for continental drift?
The existence in the fossil record of the same land species on several continents. Since these animals are not seafaring then the continents must have been connected at one time. Also continental drift is supported by vast empirical evidence.
What fossils prove continental drift true?
Scientists have found the same types of fossils on the west coast of Africa and the east coast of South America that have only been found in those areas.
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 types of climates do continental climates have?
Continental Dry, Continental Wet.
