Question

What is some evidence that makes plate tectonics is such a firmly believed idea?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are many shreds of evidence that support the theory of plate tectonics and make it such a firmly believed idea. These pieces of evidence include fossils, glaciers, earthquakes and volcanic activity, the shape of continents, the magnetism of rocks on the seafloor, the mid-ocean ridge system, and others.

Fossils give an idea of the location of the plants and animals that once existed. Earthquakes and volcanic activity also help in determining the cause of the boundaries and rifts formed. The shape of the continents seems to be fit with one other that gives the idea that these were together and moved away from each other.
