When the rock solidifies it stays pointing in that direction. If the rock rotates in the future we can see that it has rotated. When climactic evidence of Earth from the past do NOT match today's climate. Either what they find is too cold for the current climate OR too warm for the current climate. This tells us the continents moved from a different area of Earth This is evidence where fossils of organisms that have a tropical origin (like snakes) are found in climates today that are cold. This means that the area must have moved from a cold region to a warm region. When 2 mountain ranges of the same shape, age, and structure are found on two different continents, but not in the area between them this means they were once connected Theory that the continents are slowly moving around the planet When the remains of ice sheets are found in areas that are tropical (near the equator). This tells us that these continents must have moved from someplace cold Coastlines of different continents look like they could fit together like a jigsaw puzzle When a fossil of an organism that cannot swim or fly is found on two or more continents that are far apart. This tells us that these two continents were once connected Satellites have been used to measure the exact location of each spot on Earth. We can then measure how much each continent has moved and where it has moved to.
