The similarity of rock type: Pathways in the Appalachian mountains of eastern North American continent with the distribution

of northeast trending and suddenly disappeared on the beach Newfoundlands. Age with the same mountainous Appalachian mountains are also found in the British Isles and Scandinavia. Both of these mountains when placed at a location prior to the separation / flotation, the two mountains will form a continuous mountain paths. By way of unifying / matching the appearance of geological forms are separated by an ocean is indeed necessary, but the data are not sufficient to prove the hypothesis of floating continents (continental drift). In other words, if the continent has experienced a separation from one another, it is absolutely necessary evidence that the geological structure and rock types are suitable / appropriate. Although the evidence from geology appearance match between the continents separated by oceans, but not enough to prove that the land / continent has undergone flotation. Paleoclimatic evidence (Ancient Climate): The experts have also learned about the earth ilklim primordial, in which at 250 million years ago known that the southern hemisphere at the time that happens a cold climate, where the southern hemisphere is covered by a layer of ice is very thick, like the continent of Antarctica, Australia , South America, Africa, and India. Areas affected by glaciation in mainland Africa was sustained up to the equatorial region. However, this argument was rejected later by the experts of Earth, because during periods of glaciation in the southern hemisphere, in the northern hemisphere tropical climate which is characterized by the development of a tropical swamp forests are very extensive and the material of the origin of the coal deposits are found in the United the east, Europe and Asia.

Distribution of Fossil: Discovery of the fossils come from animals and plants that are widespread and separately on several continents:

Cynognathus fossil, a reptile that lived about 240 million years ago and found in the South American continent and the African continent. Mesosaurus fossil, a reptile that lives in freshwater lakes and rivers that lived about 260 million years ago, was found in the South American continent and the African continent. Lystrosaurus fossils, a reptile that lived on land approximately 240 million years ago, was found on the continent of Africa, India, and Antarctica. Clossopteris fossil, a plant that lived 260 million years ago, found on the continent of Africa, South America, India, Australia, and Antarctica.
