The moose migrated to a warm area to reproduce.

The area used to have a much colder climate.

Detailed explanation-1: -Which would most likely explain finding moose fossils in an area with a warm climate? All organisms used to be able to survive in warm climates. The moose migrated to a warm area to reproduce.
Detailed explanation-2: -When oceanic or continental plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or move in the same direction but at different speeds, a transform fault boundary is formed. No new crust is created or subducted, and no volcanoes form, but earthquakes occur along the fault.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -The plates rip apart at divergent plate boundaries, crash together at convergent plate boundaries, and slide past each other at transform plate boundaries. Tectonic activity such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and the formation of mountain ranges commonly occurs along the boundaries of the moving plates.
Detailed explanation-5: -The movement of these tectonic plates is likely caused by convection currents in the molten rock in Earth’s mantle below the crust. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the short-term results of this tectonic movement.
