and Mid-Ocean Ridges.
Where can Hot spots occur?

How do fossils of the same species on different continents explain Drift Theory?
These animals could not have swam across entire oceans.
Which means they had to have walked to the other continents.
Earthquakes are caused by what plate movement?
Rubbing against each other,
OR
Transform boundary.
A Mid-Ocean Ridge is created by what boundary?
Divergent boundaries.
What created the Yellowstone supervolcano?
A Hot spot.
Why do mountains on different continents help support Drift Theory?
Some mountain ranges on different continents are the same...
type of rock,
age,
and shape. Meaning it was probably the same mountain range, now seperated.
