For example, the only way to explain Greenland and Eurasia fit together is using relative dating to see when they’re formed. Without plate tectonics, we wouldn’t have any mountains on earth, or anything really.]]> 2017-10-11 13:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196004028 https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196004039 2017-10-11 13:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196004039 https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196004054 #7 Fossils can be used as evidence of plate tectonics because usually a certain type of fossils is near the same type of fossils. For example, the only way to explain that the Cynognathus fossil is in South America and Africa and Asia is that there was a super continent. Without plate tectonics we would not have a big difference in species in different continents. This is how we can use evidence of fossils for the explanation of plate tectonics.]]> 2017-10-11 13:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196004054 https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196005184 #7 Mountain chains can be used as evidence of plate tectonics ,because the continents collided and can help us see where they fit. The Appalachian mountains and Anti Atlas Mountains are an example. The Appalachian mountains are in North America and Anti Atlas are in Africa,These fit together. These mountains are similar ages and they fit together. Mountains can help us identify in some ways. Without plate tectonics the continents would never move, and the
only mountains would be volcanoes.]]> 2017-10-11 13:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196005184 https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196006328 Glaciers can be used as evidence of plate tectonics because it shows where continents were once connected. For example the only way to explain that where the glaciers are on the continents, is that they were once connected and were one or many massive glaciers and have come apart over the last 240 million years. Without plate tectonics the world would still only have one big supercontinent and the glaciers that were once on Pangaea would still be around and connected today.]]> 2017-10-11 13:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196006328 https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196012732 2017-10-11 13:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196012732 https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196369544 The reason fossils can be used to show why plate tectonics is due to the distance of mainly terrestrial animals, being continents apart. That sounds rather dumb, but realistically, a little three foot lizard could not get from South America to Africa, especially if it couldn't swim. Therefore plate tectonics HAD to happen, or these fossils being in different continents would be impossible.]]> 2017-10-12 12:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196369544 https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196370563 The best evidence would most likely to be fossils. This is because fossils show us where animals used to be native to and if we see the same fossils in different locations we could tell where land was connected. Also a problem with fossils is that there may be land bridges that were their that are not there now.]]> 2017-10-12 12:12:57 UTC https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196370563 https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196370795 The best evidence that the tectonic plates exist is the mountains.

Using fossils more continents can be put together. With mountains only a few can be put together. However, I do think all pieces of evidence need to be put together to get an accurate map.]]> 2017-10-12 12:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196371418 https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196371651 The best evidence is...well, honestly, can we truly choose one? I mean, there are certain continents that do not even exist if we only use one set of evidence to tackle a certain problem. North America seems to be voided if we look at glaciers and fossils, but exists by looking at mountains, so long story short, ALL the evidence is good evidence,]]> 2017-10-12 12:15:33 UTC https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196371651 https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196372105 the best evidence is fossils because fossils are found where the organisms die. the mountains can form after Pangaea and the oceans can freeze and cause glaciers.]]> 2017-10-12 12:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196372105 https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196372427 The best evidence for plate tectonics is the fossils, because like that group said a small lizard that cant swim and cant go across an entire ocean.

Fossils can be used as a reliable source because they show that the continents were connected due to the biology of some species. Some species were not really built for swimming, so the only way for their bones to be on a different continent was for all of the continents to be connected at some point. Glaciers can be used as a good resource because they show that there were massive glaciers or were one massive glacier and they were broken apart over time. So, all of the points used can be a reliable source.]]> 2017-10-12 12:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196372553 https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196372701 The best evidence is mountains because there are a lot of examples of how and where the mountains fit together and have moved apart over time. ]]> 2017-10-12 12:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196372701 https://padlet.com/iaselig/zmo28uciwkte/wish/196372709 The best evidence is fossils because how else are the same plants, from the same time period, supposed to be on opposite sides of the world?
