Jessie Wallace · Answer 1

Continental drift could probably only be observed using satellite mapping and land features.

Elsa Klein · Answer 2

fossils

land features

Explanation:

if some lands had similar fossil types, it must mean that the lands were once in the proximity of each other. For example, if Africa had the same fossils as South America, it must mean that they once we're connected, so that the animals can move freely from one continent to another. Additionally, the land features of some continents are similar to a jigsaw puzzle. It seems as though we can connect the edges based on their shape.
