GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -One type of evidence that strongly supported the Theory of Continental Drift is the fossil record. Scientists have found fossils of similar types of plants and animals in rocks of similar age. These rocks were on the shores of different continents. This suggests that the continents were once joined.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Theory of Continental Drift is defined as the movement of the Earth’s continents relative to each other, thereby appearing to drift together across the oceanic bed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The matching of continents, rocks of the same age across oceans, tillite, placer deposits, and fossil distribution are all Evidence of Continental Drift Theory.
