German Scientist that developed theory of continental drift
continental drift
The fern can live in any climate.
Fossil remains of the same land-dwelling animal
Wegner
the shapes of continents appeared to allow them to fit together
movement of convection currents in the mantle causes the plates to move
have higher iron content.
Pangaea
Even before modern observations provided evidence that supports the Theory of Plate Tectonics, people developed theories that the continents were once joined together. Using only maps, they observed that -

the shapes of continents appeared to allow them to fit together
movement of convection currents in the mantle causes the plates to move

Pangaea
This theory explains the moving of continents, but could not answer what made the land masses move.

The large super-continent that was thought to have existed was called --

Pangaea
One piece of evidence that supports the Theory of Plate Tectonics is the discovery of what in both South America and Africa?
continental drift
The fern can live in any climate.
Fossil remains of the same land-dwelling animal
Wegner
the shapes of continents appeared to allow them to fit together
movement of convection currents in the mantle causes the plates to move
have higher iron content.
Pangaea
Examining rocks that form on either side of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge provides evidence that supports Plate Tectonics. This is because we see evidence of plate movement in the fact that as we look at rocks farther and farther from the ridge, the rocks -

Which of the following is NOT evidence of continental drift theory?
continental drift
The fern can live in any climate.

the shapes of continents appeared to allow them to fit together
movement of convection currents in the mantle causes the plates to move
have higher iron content.
Pangaea
A scientist found fossils of the same tropical fern in Africa, Antarctica, and Australia. What conclusion can the scientist make?
continental drift
The fern can live in any climate.
