35 Paleomagnetism and Sea Floor Spreading explains continental drift! (and why ….. A) why fossils on both sides of the ocean are the same B) why mountain ranges on both sides of the ocean are the same C) why rocks are the same on both sides of the ocean D) why coal is found in the Antarctic E) why paleoglaciation explained rock scrapings in Africa Continental Drift!!!! --- The slow movement of continental plates caused by sea floor spreading over hot, rising magma (liquid rock)
