Investigate evidence for continental drift and explain how plate tectonics provides the mechanism for continental movement.

Your role is a geologist researching evidence for continental drift to support Wegener's theory and explain the mechanism of plate tectonics. The project is worth 50 marks and has a duration of 2 months.

Research and identify three specific fossils found on continents now separated by oceans. For each fossil, explain in detail how its distribution across these continents supports the idea that the continents were once joined. Include relevant diagrams or illustrations of the fossils and their locations. Remember to cite all your sources.

Investigate two matching rock formations or mountain ranges that are currently found on different continents. Describe these formations and explain how their geological similarities across vast distances provide evidence for continental drift. Include maps that clearly show the locations of these matching geological features. Ensure you cite your sources.

Research glacial evidence found in tropical regions. Explain what the presence of ancient glacial deposits in areas that are currently warm and tropical tells us about the past positions of these continents. Identify specific locations where this evidence is found and describe the types of evidence (e.g., tillites, striations). Cite your sources.

Research the concept of continental fit, focusing on how the shapes of continents appear to fit together like puzzle pieces. Specifically, explain the evidence provided by the continental shelves (the submerged edges of continents) for this fit. Create a clearly labeled diagram illustrating the supercontinent Pangaea with the modern continents outlined within it. Cite your sources.

Ensure your project includes a cover page, addresses all four sections above, incorporates diagrams and maps, uses at least 5 credible sources, is typed in 12pt font with 1.5 line spacing, and follows a proper citation format.
