Question

how does fossil evidence support wegeners hypothesis of continental drift? all of these similar fossils are found along continental margins that appear to join together. similar fossils of giant, land - dwelling dinosaurs are found on continents separated by oceans. fossils are found in areas where the present - day climate could not have supported the organisms that made the fossils.

Explanation:

To determine how fossil evidence supports Wegener's continental drift hypothesis, we analyze each option:

• The orange option: Similar fossils on matching continental margins (like puzzle pieces) suggests continents were once joined.
• The green option: Giant land - dwelling dinosaur fossils on separated continents (now by oceans) imply the continents were connected, as these dinosaurs couldn't cross oceans.
• The blue option: Fossils in areas with climates now unsuitable for the organisms show continents moved from climates where those organisms could live.

Since all these pieces of fossil evidence (matching continental margins, fossils on separated landmasses, fossils in mismatched climates) support continental drift, the "all of these" option is correct.

Answer:

all of these
