Evidences of Plate Movement Fossils of Plant and Animals -Cases when sought fossils were unearthed in most parts of the world, as is they were intentionally scattered. Paleontologists -People who study fossils of dead organisms. Deep-seas sediments -Left sediments behind in the ocean floor as fossils on the edges of the continent. Igneous rocks -Secondary source of fossils. -Formed due to the rising and cooling of magma. River Sediments -As water from the rivers flow across the continents, sediments are deposited as fossils and they build up at the edges of the continents. Fossils in Terranes -Fossils found in some terranes serve as evidence of plate movement.
