Answer 1

that Earth's landmasses move over time

Alfred Wegener tried to prove with fossil evidence that Earth's landmasses, or continents, have moved over time and were once joined together in a supercontinent, which he called Pangaea. This theory is known as continental drift. He used the similarity of fossilized plants and animals found on continents that are now widely separated by oceans as evidence that they were once connected.
