Plate Tectonics:Continental Drift Plate tectonics is a unifying theory that attempts to explain natural phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanoes. Continental Drift Continental Drift Alfred Wegener -1912 large “supercontinent” (Pangaea) existed and then split into pieces fossil glacial deposit evidence Evidence for Continental Drift THE JIGSAW FIT OF THE CONTINENTS - there is a noticeable jigsaw fit between many of our continents - for example, between the East Coast of South America and the West Coast of Africa, which suggests that at some point in time the continents were once assembled together. Evidence for Continental Drift PLANT / ANIMAL FOSSILS - A number of identical fossils have been found distributed across the southern continents, again suggesting that they were once joined. Fossils of the Mesosauras dating back 280 million years ago have been found in South America and Africa (and nowhere else) - it is known from the fossil that this animal could not swim. Plant Fossils, such as Glossopteris (a tree) have been found in South America, Africa, India and Australia. Evidence for Continental Drift Lystrosaurus: mammal like reptile, herbivore, about the size of a small dog. Mesosaurus: freshwater reptile, carnivore. Glossopteris: extinct seed fern was about 12 ft (3.6 m) tall. Cynognathus: metre-long predator of the Lower Triassic. It was one of the more mammal-like of the mammal-like reptiles, Evidence for Continental Drift GEOLOGICAL SEQUENCES - A number of continents show evidence of matching geological sequences with rocks of similar age, type, formation and structure occurring in different countries - e.g. the Appalachians (E. USA) show a geological match with mountains in NW Europe and if they were fitted together would form a single continuous mountain belt. Evidence for Continental Drift Similar rock strata and fossils on either side of the Atlantic Ocean. Evidence for Continental Drift CLIMATOLOGICAL ANOMALIES - A number of climatic anoma
