Evidence for continental drift is now extensive. Similar plant and animal fossils are found around different continent shores, suggesting that they were once joined. The fossils of the freshwater crocodile, found both in Brazil and South Africa, are one example; another is the discovery of fossils of the aquatic reptile Lystrosaurus from rocks of the same age from locations in South America, Africa, and Antarctica. There is also living evidence --- the same animals being found on two continents. An example of this is a particular earthworm found in South America and South Africa.
The complementary arrangement of the facing sides of South America and Africa is obvious, but is a temporary coincidence. In millions of years, seafloor spreading, continental drift, and other forces of tectonophysics will further separate and rotate those two continents. It was this temporary feature which inspired Wegener to study what he defined as continental drift, although he did not live to see his hypothesis become generally accepted.
It's generally saying that fossils have been found on landmasses far away from each other but because of seafloor spreading the continents could have once been connected.
They proved that the seafloor was spreading.

If one can prove that the sea floor spreads out from the mid oceanic ridges, then logically the continents must be moving apart to accommodate the spreading. Conversely there must also be places where sea floor is being destroyed if the Earth is to stay the same size.
god knows
Harry Hess developed the idea of sea floor spreading. Which help better prove Alfred Wegener's Continental Drift Hypothesis.
Seafloor spreading helped prove the theory of continental drift. Pangea theory also helped.
How seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift is that wegener couldn't explain why and waht force caused the continents to move and so seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift because it shows the force that made the continents move and that was te only thing that wagener needed to prove his theory of continental drift............thanks
1) seafloor spreading 2) continental drift 3 i only found 2

He didn't. Evidence which points to continental drift was discovered later, after he died.

Alfred Has Been Working On The Contintal Drift For A Long Time And Scientist Are Stilll Trying To Prove The Continental Drift. So The Continental Drift Is His First Discovery...,(:.!? --- Jocelyn !!
There was no evidence to prove it
Three evidence that supports Harry Hess theory of Seafloor Spreading is; 1. Paleomagnetism. 2. Plate Tectonics. 3. Polar Wondering and Polar Reversal.
