There were four peices of evidence:
1. He noticed that the some of the continents fit together like a puzzle.
2. He found the same fossils in both continents, this is only possible if they were once touching each other.
3. There were the same kind of mountains in Canada and Europe, the only way this is possible is if the two plates once collided.
4. 250 million years ago there were ice sheets in southern Africa, India, and Australia and this is only possible if they once touched Antartica.
what ways do fossils hepl support the hypothesis of the continental drift?ANSWER: fossil plants like glossopteris.
Which type of evidence was NOT used by Alfred Wegener to support his continental drift hypothesis human remains
Alfred Wegener's theory was known as the theory of continental drift.
Fossils of the same species can be found on continents that are now today separated by oceans. btw continental drift is a fact.
Yes, in fact, Pangea was developed as a result of Wegner's work on continental drift.
Scientist rejected Wegners hypothesis of continental drift at first because he did not have enogh evidence to support his theory. He failed to provide a suitable mechanism that could cause the continents to move.

Wegener could not describe a mechanism that was capable of moving the continents across the globe. Answer: C. mechanism of continental drift.
Which type of evidence was NOT used by Alfred Wegener to support his continental drift hypothesis human remains
yes it does, one fossil plant that helped support the hypothesis of the conentental drift is glossopteris.
composition of meteorites
composition of meteorites
Because wegner didnt have proof to show what caused mountains.

He thought that the world was once pangea but then the plates and "Sea Floor Spreading" moved Pangea around
One of the main objections to wegener's hypothesis of continental drift was that he was unable to provide an acceptable?a.rate of continental driftb.date of continental driftc.mechanism for continental driftd.direction of continental driftDoes anyone know the answer to thisAndrewolf71: The Answer is mechanism for contintental drift because he could not prove the theory so no one believed him. happy
The name of the floral fossils Wegner used for the idea of continental drift was glossopteris. Alfred Wegner used the continental drift as a way to explain the continental shapes.
