What do the glossopteris fossils tell us about early positions of the continents?
That they must have been joined up in the past because the same fossils could not exist on the continents given their current position.

What do the glossopteris fossils tell us about the early position of the continents?
shows that all three continents were once connected (joined) together. because the 'exact' same fossil types were found in all three different continents, which are now split from each other.
What can fossils tell us about the movement of the plates in the past?
Fossils can provide information on the distribution of ancient species across different continents, which helps in reconstructing past continental positions. By comparing the similarities and differences in fossil species found on separate continents, scientists can infer the movement and interaction of tectonic plates in the past. Fossils can also reveal how environmental changes associated with plate movements influenced the evolution and distribution of species over time.
What can fossils tell us about the future?
Fossils can tell us the climate and change in the future....
What can fossils tell scientist?
I think that fossils tell scientists what the animal was doing, what it was eating, and, how it moves.

That they must have been joined up in the past because the same fossils could not exist on the continents given their current position.
What do the shape of the continents now tell us about their past?
The current shape and position of continents provide evidence for the theory of plate tectonics, which suggests that continents were once part of a supercontinent called Pangaea that has since drifted apart. This movement helps explain the similarities between the geology and fossils of now widely separated continents, as well as the presence of matching coastlines and mountain ranges.
What can rearranging the continents tell about the earths history?
Rearranging continents can help us understand the movement of tectonic plates over millions of years, providing insights into past geological events such as the breakup of supercontinents like Pangaea. It can also help explain the distribution of ancient fossils and geological features across different continents, revealing the interconnected nature of Earth's history.
What if your neighbor reads a newspaper article about fossils of tropical plants being found in a very cold southern area of the world. and ldquoHow can that be and he asks you. You tell him that?
1) Climates change with time and 2) Continents drift.
If you found ocean fish fossils below land animals fossils what would that tell you?
It would tell you that an ocean once existed there and then withdrew.
