What else can I help you with?
Where are fossils commonly found?
FOSSILS according to scientist fossils are most likely to be found in the united states (caves mountains and lots of other places) u might fall and trip on one
How are fossils useful evidence of continental drift?
Fossils found on different continents that were once connected provide evidence of continental drift because they show similarities between species that lived in the same geographic region. By studying these fossils, scientists can track the movement of continents over time and piece together the history of Earth's land masses.
What is the evidence of seafloor spreading?
Animal fossils have been found in many places in the ocean.
When was the first neanderthal found?
The first Neanderthal fossils were found in Gibraltar when tunnels were built for defence, but they were not recognised as a different human species at the time. The first fossils to be recognised as different from modern humans were found in the Neander Valley, near Dusseldorf, Germany.
How did fossils provide evidence for contental drift?
Because, similar fossils could be found on different continents, in rocks of the same age.
What sort of places are fossils usually found in?
Sedimentary rock
What are seen cradles of civilization?
Places where earliest human fossils are found
Where are fossils commonly found?

What makes a good index?
fossils that are common and are found in rare places on earth
How did fossils help support the hypothesis of continental drift?
Fossils found on different continents that were once connected support the idea of continental drift. The similarities in fossilized plants and animals found on separate continents suggest these landmasses were once part of the same supercontinent. This evidence helps corroborate the hypothesis of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener.
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.
How are fossils useful evidence of continental drift?
Fossils found on different continents that were once connected provide evidence of continental drift because they show similarities between species that lived in the same geographic region. By studying these fossils, scientists can track the movement of continents over time and piece together the history of Earth's land masses.
What are some places that fossils are most likely to be found?
Rivers,rock outcrops,and slate.
What is the evidence of seafloor spreading?
Animal fossils have been found in many places in the ocean.
Clues to which organisms lived in different eras are found in?
fossils
Why are places with more sedimentary rock better places for fossil hunting?
Nearly all fossils are found in sedimentary rock.
Paleontologists noticed that these were the same on different continents even though the continents were separated by ocean?
The same rocks and minerals from the same batch, dinosaur fossils dating back to the same time periods, natural landforms and structures can be found on completely separate continents. This evidence supports the Plate Techtonics and Continental Drift theories.
