Which of the following are types of evidence to prove that the continents were once together in a supercontinent called Pangea and then drifted apart? Sort out the following choices to either be supporting evidence or not supporting evidence.
1.rock sequences of several continents match each other and are the same types of rocks and layers
2. Similar fossils were discovered on several continents but cannot swim in saltwater and cannot travel across the ocean
3. Warm climate plants were found in cold polar areas
4. Continents appear like puzzle pieces that may fit together
5. There are rocks found on either side of the mid-Atlantic ridge, where two tectonic plates are moving apart and a new oceanic crust is being formed
6. There are magnetic minerals in rocks that are aligned to our magnetic field.
