What else can I help you with?
What two pieces of evidence support the theory that a super continent formed long before Pangaea?
One piece of evidence is the fit of the continents' coastlines, particularly between South America and Africa. Another piece of evidence is the distribution of similar fossil species across continents that are now separated by oceans.
What is the largest continent between north America south America Australia and Africa?
Africa
What distance is shorter Africa to south America or Africa to Australia?
The distance between Africa and South America is shorter than the distance between Africa and Australia. Africa and South America are separated by the Atlantic Ocean, which is narrower than the Indian Ocean that separates Africa and Australia.
What ocean lies between South America and Africa and Ocean.?
The South Atlantic Ocean is between West Africa and South America.
The geographic distribution of the swimming reptile Mesosaurus provides evidence that .?
South america and Africa were once joined.
Strait separates Spain and North America?
The Strait of Gibraltar is between Europe and Africa. There is evidence of humans in the area from over 100 thousand years ago.
What evidence is there along Africa and America to suggest the continents were once attached?
Fossil evidence, such as similar plant and animal species found on both continents, as well as rock formations that match up when the continents are reconstructed into a supercontinent called Pangaea, suggest that Africa and America were once connected. Additionally, the discovery of similar geological features, such as mountain ranges and coastlines, along the western coast of Africa and eastern coast of South America provides further support for this theory.
Cite evidence from a land form and fossil to support the hypothesis that Africa and South America were once joined?
The similarity of the geological formations, such as the Appalachian Mountains in North America and the Caledonian Mountains in Scotland, suggests a connection between continents, supporting the hypothesis that Africa and South America were once joined. Additionally, fossils of the reptile Mesosaurus have been found in both Brazil and South Africa, indicating that these continents were once part of a larger landmass, as this freshwater species could not have crossed the Atlantic Ocean. Together, these geological and fossil records provide compelling evidence for the theory of continental drift.
Where on earth do you see evidence that tectonic plates have collided in the past?
south america and africa .
How did wegner use climate evidence to support his evidence?
In Africa there are scratch marks that could only have been caused by glaciers but Africa is by a hot place by the equate so once it was colder there
What did Alfred Wegener use for evidence?
Alfred Wegener used several pieces of evidence to support his theory of continental drift, including the fit of continents like South America and Africa, similar rock formations and mountain ranges across continents, and the distribution of plants and animals. He also looked at evidence from fossils and ancient climate data to support his hypothesis.
Was there a war between America and North Africa?
No, not directly. However WW2 (which was between the German alliance and the Allies (which included America) was partly conducted in N. Africa.
