ROOM 1

The Theory of Continental Drift

Question 1

Sceintist have found similar fossils on contintents that are seperated by oceans present day. This evidence suggests that ...

the contintents were once connected but seperated over time

animals adapted and were able to live in different continents

glaciers carried the fossils to different continents.

Question 3

How does fossil evidence support Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?

Fossils are found in areas where the present-day climate could not have supported the organisms that made the fossils.

Similar fossils are found along continental margins that appear to join together.

Both answers are true

ROOM 2

Plate Boundaries

Question 1

In the 1960’s, Harry Hess combined all of the current theories of plate movements and created the Theory of Plate Tectonics. This theory is still the most widely accepted theory for plate movement. One of the facts that was used to create this theory is the Ring of Fire which is shown in the image.

It indicates similar fossils found on the islands in the Pacific Ocean.

It reveals the seismic activity that occurs at plate boundaries.
