Wegener's data included evidence from fossil similarities between continents, matching mountain ranges and geological features across continents, similar rock sequences, and the distribution of ancient climates and glaciations.

Evidence supporting continental drift includes the fit of the continents like pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle, matching geological features across different continents, similarities in rock formations and mountain chains, distribution of fossils across continents, and the pattern of magnetic stripes on the ocean floor that support seafloor spreading. These pieces of evidence collectively support the theory of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener.
1. Fossils of the same plant or animal are found in different continents. 2. The shape of Africa and South America looks like they fit together. 3. The age and type of rock are the same on different continents. MORE: 4. The mountains chain seem to continue. 5. Coal from Antartica or from very cold region that used to be warmer/
They have found the fossil Glossopteris in Africa, Australia, India, South America, and Antartica. Also warm-weather plant fossils were once found on a island in the Artic Ocean.
The major air masses that influence the weather in the United States are the Continental Arctic (cA), Continental Polar (cP), Continental Tropical (cT), Maritime Polar (mP), and Maritime Tropical (mT). These air masses bring different temperature and moisture characteristics, impacting weather patterns across the country.
Romania has a temperate-continental climate.
Continental air typically brings dry and stable weather conditions. Due to its origin over large land masses, continental air tends to be devoid of significant moisture content, leading to clear skies and low chances of precipitation. Temperatures can vary widely in continental air masses, with hot summers and cold winters being common.
Tropical continental air in summer brings hot and dry weather. It can result in high temperatures, low humidity, and clear skies.
yes but also continental polar
come from a 'large body of air pressure
