How could fossils be clues to the continental drift?
Nata [24]

Fossils can tell you that Pangea time really happened. Let’s say you find a fossil in North America for something normally found in Africa or a fossil in Europe for something that would otherwise be in South America.

Explanation:

The three major air pollutants are Carbon monoxide(CO), Particulate Matter(PM10, and PM2.5) and Ozone(O3).
