Wegener believed all continents had once been joined because of the similar shapes of coastlines, matching geological formations across continents, and evidence of past glaciation extending from multiple continents, suggesting they were once connected.
Are the continents floating on water?

Some experts believe there were no people in the Americas until?
until around 15,000 years ago, based on the evidence of the Clovis culture. However, some newer findings suggest that humans could have been present in the Americas earlier than previously thought, possibly as far back as 20,000-30,000 years ago.
What happened to change peoples old views and lead them to believe in continental drift?
Evidence such as the shape of continents and similar fossils found on various continents help demonstrate that some continents may have been connected. It took decades for many to accept the theory because the idea was first introduced in 1912.
Have the continents alway been in the same place?
No, the continents have not always been in the same place. Due to the process of plate tectonics, the continents have moved over geologic time scales. This movement has resulted in the formation of supercontinents and the current configuration of continents.
Is the chewpracabra real?
Maybe. There are a lot of people that believe it is real and myths come from somewhere. It could very well be something made up or just a animal that hasn't been discovered yet. But its really up to you what you believe until there is proof whether it exists or not.
Have the continents always been where they are located today?
It is commonly accepted that the continents have not always been in their current locations. They are thought to have all been part of a super continent known as Pangaea.
Which continents have dinosaurs been found on?
All of them.
A landmass thought to have been comprised of present-day southern continents?
Gondwanaland is a landmass thought to have been compromised of present-day southern continents.
Why didn't people believe evolution in the past?
The scientific community doesn't accept something until it has been conclusively supported by evidence and has been shown to fit the facts. The religious community saw it as a threat to their belief system (and some still do today).
