How were the fossil symbols and mountain belts helpful in deciding where to move the continents?
Answer (2)
Fossils symbol and mountain belts are very important for geologists in deciding where to move the continents.
Fossils and mountain belts can give the geologist ideas about the history of the certain continents and what are the animals that stayed and died in that place.
Both can also help the geologists to identify if the particular continent is a safe place to live on because the animals of a long time ago stayed on that place. So maybe the place is safe from water high tide and is not a moving plates.
Fossil evidence and mountain belts provide crucial insights into continental drift by indicating past connections between continents. Similar fossils found across different continents, such as Mesosaurus, and matching mountain ranges support the idea that these landmasses were once joined. This information has been vital in developing theories like tectonic plate movement and understanding Earth's geological history.
