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.
What Rock clues were used to support the theory of continental drift because .?
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 modern technology helps prove the theory of plate tectonics?
important and uprising clues about earths crust have been collected from the sea floor using sonar
What evidence helped support the theory of seafloor spreading?
The western coast of Africa and the eastern coast of South America, are of the same shape. The line of volcanic activity (the mid-Atlantic ridge) between the continents is of this same shape, as are the series of lesser ridges on each side of this central ridge. The easterly and westerly spreading of Iceland, which is located directly over this same ridge line. The fossil records of the continents on both sides of the ridge are the same in terms of species and time frame. The related location of certain geologic features, like coal deposits and other structures.
What is the theory shown to be correct by age evidence and magnetic clues?

What theory is shown to be correct by age evidence and magnetic clues?
Magnetometer
What evidence in rocks supports the theory of seas-flooring spreading?
1.) The age of the rocks- the oldest ones are found further away from the original mid-atlantic ridge. 2.) Magnetic clues. The rocks with iron in them have shown that the Earth's magnetic field has reversed itself several times. It is imprinted in the rock.
How do scientist discover theories?
they work in there lab and find all the evidence they can get and then put all the clues together to make a theory
