Question

identical fossils were found on continents that were far apart. which theory is supported by this evidence? continental drift evolution plate tectonics big bang

Explanation:

The theory of continental drift suggests that continents were once joined together and have since drifted apart. Finding identical fossils on far - apart continents supports this idea as it implies the organisms lived when the continents were connected. Evolution is about species development over time, plate tectonics is a more comprehensive theory (continental drift is part of it but the key here is the drift concept for fossil distribution), and the big bang is about the origin of the universe.

Answer:

continental drift
