  • Where weather takes place
  • rain, hail, snow, or freezing rain
  • the day to day characteristics of weather which include wind direction, humidity, temperatures, pressure, etc.

  • Similar fossils of species were found on different continents
  • There were mountains similar in structure found on different continents.
  • All the continents were similar in size and age at the time

Question 21

Question
What is the theory about plate tectonics?
Answer
  • convection within the earth caused plates underneath the earth's mantle to move
