Similar fossils found on different continents helped geologists determine how the continents used to be connected. Mountain belts marked the boundaries of moving plates, which showed in which direction the different continents drifted. Extrapolating from this information, scientists had a rough idea of how the continents were arranged eons ago.
hello there
Andrea's point is probably the answer you're looking for, however, you should keep in mind that many (most?) environmental laws are driven more by politics than by the available data. Scientists do research on any number of topics (environmental or not) that have implications for our society. We (scientists) like to think that policy makers take our data and results into consideration when drafting legislation, but I would say that in my experience this rarely happens. For one, there have rarely been any federal legislators who understand science. Even the few physicians who've gone into politics seem largely to fail to understand very basic tenets of science, or at least they don't often demonstrate it with their political actions. Leaving environmental issues, for example, if politicians took science into account, there would be no discussion in any school district in the country about whether or not evolution should be taught in schools, as there are simply *NO* scientists who are qualified to have an opinion who would suggest it shouldn't. Environmental issues are not really any different.
hope that helped bye
Answer:
The answer is below.
Explanation:
Constructive is when two plates are being pulled by convection currents.
Destructive is when an oceanic plate is destroyed by the thicker continental plate.
A collision is when two continental plates push against each other and buckle.
Conservative is when two plates slide past each other along a fault line.

look care fully and read it
