What are TWO main pieces of evidence for continental drift?
Fossil evidence found on separate continents
Geologic evidence such as continent shape and rock formations
Magnetic bands which reverse and mirror each other on opposite sides of a ridge
mirroring bands of rock which get older and older as you get farther from a ridge
