Some evidence of continental drift came from impressions left in rocks from from millions of years ago called:
oceanic ridge
plate tectonics
fossils
subduction zone
the mechanism to move continents
near mid-ocean ridges
rift valley
South America and Africa
Wegeners theory was initially discarded, but in the mid 1960's new data was collected and the theory was updated and given the name of:
oceanic ridge
plate tectonics
fossils
subduction zone
the mechanism to move continents
near mid-ocean ridges
rift valley
South America and Africa
Also found along a divergent boundary, you could find a deep faulted structurecalled a:
