Fossils.
Early in the 20th century, Alfred Wegener, primarily, established the continental drift theory. According to Wegener, continents are mobile on the surface of the Earth and were previously connected to form a single supercontinent. Scientists did not think that the continents could migrate when Wegener was alive.
In rocks that are the same age but on continents that are currently far apart, ancient fossils of the same species of extinct plants and animals can be found. Wegener claimed that the species had coexisted, but that once they died and become petrified, the lands had separated. According to his theory, the creatures couldn't have crossed the seas.
1. Glossopteris seed fern fossils were too heavy for the wind to carry them that far.
2. Mesosaurus was a reptile that could swim, although it could only do it in freshwater.
3. The terrestrial reptiles Cynognathus and Lystrosaurus were incapable of swimming.

It was the planet Venus that made the spacecraft Magellan enable the scientists to make an extensive research. The spacecraft Magellan was a robotic space probe that was launched to observe the planet Venus and calculate the gravitational field of the planet.
Answer:
Rivers of the Coastal Plain were a major means of commercial transportation during the 1700s and early 1800s. Cities founded along the fall line, called “fall line cities,” are located at the places where these rivers crossed the fall line, marking the upstream limit of travel. The city of Columbus, for example, was established where the Chattahoochee River crosses the fall line; Macon, Milledgeville, and Augusta are similarly located at the crossings of the Ocmulgee, Oconee, and Savannah rivers, respectively. These cities became important transportation hubs because traders could only travel upstream until they reached the waterfalls of the fall line. At that point they were forced to disembark and reload their cargo on the other side of the falls in order to continue their journeys. Columbus served as the upstream head of navigation for the Chattahoochee, as did Augusta for the Savannah River and Macon for the Ocmulgee River. After the first steamship arrived in 1828, Columbus became a gateway city for cotton. Above the fall line, flatboats and barges moved goods around the state. Below the fall line, steamships had unimpeded access to move goods, mostly cotton, into the Gulf of Mexico.
Answer:
1) Mercator Projection
2)the middle part of the grid
3)They are the same map of the world but different because the Robinson Projection youd have a globe, the other one is not a globe it looks to be a flat map.
Explanation:
Arid, Dry climates like in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas
