How were the fossil symbols helpful in deciding where to move the continents?
How where the fossil symbols and mountain belts helpful in deciding where to move to move the continents.
Does fossil evidence provide support for the idea that continents have moved over time?
no
What continents was a fern located on?
Ferns and their fossil remains have been found on every continent
How were the fossil symbols symbols helpful in deciding where to move the continents?
The fossil symbols were helpful in deciding where to move the continents because it showed where land and water dinosaurs could and could not live, especially with the non-swimmers in Africa and South America. There is also proof of some mountains matching in Western Europe and Greenland.
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.

Why would you expect to see similar rock structures on two landmasses that were once connected?
Because continental drift occurred at that time but as time passed the continents again drift apart but keeping the fossils of the plant or animal still in that one continent, therefore having the fossil be separated.

fossil diversion
What is fossil record?
The fossil record is the information about the fossils found in a particular location.
Does fossil evidence provide support for the idea that continents have moved over time?
no
How was fossil evidence used to reconstruct Pangea?
The intersection of a common fossil on two different landmasses' borders allowed scientists to reconstruct Pangaea.
