Other examples include fossils of the freshwater reptiles Mesosaurus and Lystrosaurus . These fossils have also been found in places now separated by oceans.

The ocurrence of Glossopteris on landmasses that are now separated by oceans indicates that Pangea once existed.

Wegner pieced together maps of Africa and South America and he noticed that the mountain ranges on the continents line up.

Wegner also used fossils to support his hypothesus for continental drift. A fossil is any trace of an ancient organism that has been preserved in rock.

Wenner attempted to explain how continental drift took place. He suggested that the continents plowed across the ocean floors. But wegener could not provide a satisfactory explanation for the force that pushes or pull the continents. Because Wegener could not identify the cause of continental drift, most geologists of his time rejected his idea

Wegener used evidence of climate change to support his hypothesis. As a continent moves toward the equator, its climate gets warmer. As a continent moves toward the poles, its climate gets colder.

Have you ever noticed that continents look like if they fit together? Well, a scientist named Alfred Wegner noticed that too, and so he came up with his famous hypothesis: He said that, all continents were once joined together in a single landmass and have since drifted apart. This landmass together was called Pangea.
