Describe how each of the following are evidence for Continental Drift
1. Fossils
2. Landforms
3. Rock Formations
4. Climate

1. fossils- There are many examples of fossils found on separate continents and nowhere else, suggesting the continents were once joined. If Continental Drift had not occurred, the alternative explanations would be: The species evolved independently on separate continents – contradicting Darwin's theory of evolution. 3. Wegener said the rocks had formed side-by-side and that the land had since moved apart. Mountain ranges with the same rock types, structures, and ages are now on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. ... Wegener concluded that they formed as a single mountain range that was separated as the continents drifted. In the early part of the 20th century, scientists began to put together evidence that the continents could move around on Earth's surface. The evidence for continental drift included the fit of the continents; the distribution of ancient fossils, rocks, and mountain ranges; and the locations of ancient climatic zones. 2. Landform evidence is the other type of evidence for the Continental Drift. Mountain ranges are one type of proof for landform evidence. South America can fit in Africa and make a perfect mountain range. ... Another evidence under landform evidence is coal beds. 4.

Climate Clues Wegener used continental drift to explain evidence of changing climates. For example, fossils of warm- weather plants were found on the island of Spitsbergen in the Arctic Ocean. To explain this; Wegener hypothesized that Spitsbergen drifted from tropical regions to the arctic.  plzz mark brainliest

Explanation:

relative dating involves things like higher layers are most recent than rocks lower in the sequence. this can be extended to the known sequence of fossils. rocks containing rabbit fossils are later than those containing dinosaur fossils.  

absolute dating methods mainly use radioactive elements that have known rates of decay and produce recognizable products. for example potassium 40 decays to produce argon. once a rock has solidified the argon is trapped. by measuring the argon and potassium0 you can get an accurate number for the age.  

some other methods are good for archaeological ages. dendrochronology involves recognizing the sequence of tree rings. the orientation of magnetized particles in baked clay can be used to date a fire.
