Because there were fossils of tropical plants in Antarctica. This means that Antarctica must have once been further South. And that itself proves that continents move. They also found coal in places like Antarctica, and coal only forms in tropical places.
What else can I help you with?
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
Where are the earliest fossils found?
In undisturbed strata, the oldest fossils will be the deepest from the surface.
How fossils help people understand how the earth's crust haves?
Fossils found in different layers of the Earth's crust provide evidence of past environments, climate conditions, and the evolution of life forms. By studying the distribution of fossils in the rock layers, scientists can gain insights into the changes in Earth's crust over time, such as continental drift, seafloor spreading, and mountain formation. Fossils help to reconstruct the history of the Earth's crust and provide clues about the processes that have shaped the planet's surface.
What evidence do you see of the dynatmic nature of our planet?
Evidence of the dynamic nature of our planet includes the movement of tectonic plates, which cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Additionally, the changing climate patterns, erosion of landscapes, and shifting ocean currents are all indicators of the dynamic processes that continually shape Earth's surface.
How do greenhouse gas emissions impact change?
Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth. This extra heat is causing global warming, and is changing the climate.

What type of evidence acts as a record of changes in organisms over time and indicates major changes in earths surface and climate?
Fossils serve as evidence of changes in organisms over time and reveal major changes in the Earth's surface and climate. By studying the types of fossils found in different rock layers, scientists can understand how life has evolved and how the environment has changed over millions of years. This field of study is known as paleontology.

How are fossils fuels related to climate change?

How does erosion help in bringing fossils to the earths surface?
erosion helps bring fossils to earths surface by when a animal dies it turns into a fossil
Are fossils on found in rock?
Yes... fossils are found in rocks, but rocks deep within the surface.
Explain how a fossil fish can be found in 84-million-year-old rocks in Kansas. Make sure to include details about Earth’s changing surface and how fossils form that you learned from your research?

How can fossils be used as evidence of plate movements?
Fossils provide key evidence of plate movements by revealing the historical distribution of species across different continents. Similar fossils found on widely separated landmasses suggest these continents were once connected, supporting the theory of continental drift. Additionally, the presence of specific fossils in sedimentary rock layers can indicate the past environmental conditions and climates, further illustrating how tectonic activities reshaped the Earth's surface over time. Thus, studying fossil records helps trace the movement and interaction of tectonic plates throughout geological history.
How do fossils show us that environmental conditions have changed?
It is not so much the fossils themselves but the fossil record that show us that the environmental conditions have changed. The evolution of the Earth's Biosphere (living things, the oceans, land surface and atmosphere) began about 3600 million years ago when the atmosphere and oceans had no free Oxygen in them. The first life on Earth (blue green alga and 'stromatolites) slowly produced Oxygen and these are the only fossils we find from this time. As oxygen was produced over the next 3000 million years, it caused iron to be deposited out of the sea water (forming our banded Iron ore deposits) and slowly changing the atmosphere. As the Oxygen built up more complex life forms developed and by 5-600 million years ago the fossils of hard shelled sea creatures are found. Slowly more and more oxygen was released from the sea into the atmosphere and at about 425 million years ago we begin to see the fossils of the first land plants. Animals then began to follow the plants out of the seas onto land and we see fish and amphibian fossils then came the age of the reptiles (dinosaurs) and as we get nearer to the present more and more and more varied animals are found as fossils. Thus Life CREATED the Environment and the fossils prove this. They can be in cold climates or be in hot weather. It depends what their climate is. (:
