Question

7. Make a claim about how geologic data supports the idea that continents move. Use evidence from the investigation to support your claim.

Answer 1

Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. This map displays an early "supercontinent," Gondwana, which eventually moved to form the continents we know today. Fossils of similar organisms across widely disparate continents encouraged the revolutionary theory of continental drift.
