Proof of Continential drift is that they found fossils of the same animals and plants on different continents.They also found the same rock patterns on different continents.Also some continents fit together likea jigsaw puzzle.

How does Josiah Strong show that he supports the theory of evolution?
There is strong support for the theory of evolution due to fossils that have been found by archeologists. The fossil records show evidence of evolution over billions of years.
Scientist have found fossils of the same organism on different continents what does this suggest?
Fosssils of the same organism found on different continents support the theory of continental drift. Continents that are now separated by large oceans were once part of a single large continent.
How are scientific theories related to observations and evidence?
Scientist use scientific methods to test the new theory. They also examine all the evidence to see if it supports the new theory. Scientist accept a new theory when many test and pieces of evidence support it.
What theory did this scientist provide evidence for?
Cell Theory
What is a Common theory?
A common theory is a theory which has not been proven or a theory without evidence.
What are the three pieces of evidence that supports continental drift theory?
Climate fossil and fossil climate
What evidence of Earth's climate in the past supports the theory supports continental drift?
There are fossils of animals that can only live in warm whether, that are all around the world, even on Antarctica
Which scientist's work provided evidence of moving continents making the continental drift theory accepted by the scientific community?
Henry Hess
Which scientists work provided evidence of moving continents making the continental drift theory accepted by the scientific community?
Henry Hess
Which theory supports the idea of continental drift?
plate tectonics
What did people think about continental drift?
When it was originally proposed people thought it was impossible but then with further evidence provided and research since then it is an accepted theory.
Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
What scientific evidence supports the continental drift the theory?
A scientist (can't remember his name) took pictures or models of the continents and put them together and they fit like a puzzle, so that's where continental drift came from,
What evidence of earth's climate in the past supports the theory of continental drift?
There are fossils of animals that can only live in warm whether, that are all around the world, even on Antarctica
What theory supports the idea of the continental drift?
the breaking down of pangea
Evidence that supports the theory of evolution is called?
"Evidence". There's no special term to distinguish evidence supporting one theory in science from evidence supporting any other theory in science.
What is geographic fit evidence of?
The continental drift theory and the plate tectonic theory
