    This document appears to be a laboratory exercise assignment from the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines assessing a student's understanding of evidence that supports the theory of plate tectonics. The assignment asks the student to review 13 types of evidence and identify whether each piece of evidence is geological evidence or fossil evidence by placing a check mark in the appropriate column. Some of the key evidence types listed include occurrences of earthquakes, similar rock formations found on different continents, and the fit of the continents.
