December 19, 2012 AGENDA Objective: (8.9A) I can describe the historical development of evidence that supports plate tectonic theory by taking notes over historical figures 1 Starter 2. Practice 3. Pangaea Map 4. Exit.

My Table of Contents

Starter This diagram shows some of the evidence that was discovered on different continents. The Glossopteris is a plant that will grow in cool, moist areas; yet, fossils of it have been found in South America, Africa, India, Antarctica and Australia. How does this help scientists prove that the continents move?
