List the evidence that Wegener used to support continental drift.
Answers
1. The shape of the continents. If you look at the shape of the coastlines of continents, you can see that they would easily have fit together in the past.
2. Fossils of extremely similar plants and animals have been discovered on opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean. The level of similarity between these fossils suggests that the organisms must once have lived in close proximity to one another.
3. Fossils have been discovered where the animal or plant that was fossilized could never have lived in the current climate. the continents must once have had different climates, which supports the idea that they were once in different locations.
4. There are landforms on different continents that match one another.

Answer:
Alfred Wegener, in the first three decades of this century, and DuToit in the 1920s and 1930s gathered evidence that the continents had moved. They based their idea of continental drift on several lines of evidence: fit of the continents, paleoclimate indicators, truncated geologic features, and fossils.
