Question

In the next four sections below, discuss how the following evidence supports the DRIFTING OF CONTINENTS: d. Fossils. Discuss how fossils can give evidence for where continents are formed (and why India, un-expectantly, has polar fossils in its rock).

Answer 1

Fossils. You would look for fossils remains, as an evidence, that of plants or animals you would expect to find at you location, and those that are out of place.

In India, because is situated near equator, we could expect to find tropical flora fossils, not polar flora fossils in its rock. The polar fossils support the theory that India was formed near the south pole.
