Where was this evidence found? (give specific examples)

# data[].attributes.body
A specific example is glaciation which was wide-spread ice spread across the supercontinent Pangaea, which later separated into Northern Australia, southern Africa, India and a strip of South America.
link
Another example is the tree rings, when the rings are thicker it means that there was a rainy season. When they are thin, that means there was a dry season.

Milutin Milankovitch's theory of the precise timing of the ice ages by looking at fossilized coral reefs that formed in the South Pacific. Today these reefs form steps along the shore of Papua New Guinea.

Why are tropical fossils and plants found today in places with cold climates good evidence for continental drift?

Finding these plants and fossils in such rare locations would suggest that at one point it was warm enough to supply life for plants/fossils. This would mean that the continents now have shifted and moved since then.

Buried in sediment at the bottom of the ocean, frozen in glaciers and ice caps, and in tree rings. All of these help scientists better understand the climate of a place. In tree rings you can see if there was a drought or a flourishing year of rain. link

How can magnetic minerals in rocks record the position of the magnetic poles through geologic time? (question, 2)

# data[].attributes.body
When molten lava solidifies at mid-ocean ridges, iron-containing minerals in the lava align themselves with Earth's active magnetic field. These minerals record the orientation of the magnetic field at the time they solidified. Link there is a demo on the link press play on it, it shows how this works.

Paleomagnetism is the study of magnetic rocks and sediments to record the history of the magnetic field.  link

Why is this good evidence for continental drift  (question, 3)

# data[].attributes.body
This is good evidence of continental drift because these are regions where streams have deposited large quantities of sediment, thus enlarging the continental shelves. The overall fit was even better than what the supporters of continental drift suspected it would be.

Why glacial striations good evidence for continental drift?

# data[].attributes.body
More evidence comes from glacial striations – scratches on the bedrock made by blocks of rock embedded in the ice as the glacier moves. These show the direction of the glacier, and suggest the ice flowed from a single central point.

What are varves and tillites and how are they created?

# data[].attributes.body
A varve is a layer or series of layers of sediment deposited in a body of still water in one year. And a tillet is made up of sediment that was carried or deposited by a glacier and later cemented to form rock.

# data[].attributes.body
The mesosaurus was a freshwater crocodile type reptile. It lived during the early Permian. It was found on the far south end of Africa and South America. This reptile was important because it provided evidence towards the continental drift since it’s fossils were found in two very separate regions.

What are glacial striations/scratches and how are they caused?

# data[].attributes.body
glacial grooves and striations are gouged or scratched into bedrock as the glacier moves downstream. Boulders and coarse gravel get trapped under the glacial ice, and scratch and gouge the land as the glacier pushes and pulls them along.
