How did climate support wegener's theory?
Tectonic plates
What is theory for fossils of tropical plants found on an island in the arctic ocean?
the theory called the "continental drift" hypothesized that all the continents were once a huge supercontinent but then eventually over time spread apart. this is ALFRED WEGENER (veh-gen-er) HYPOTHESIS IN 1910.
How did Wigner use the island of Spitsbergen to support the theory of continental drift?
First of all it is Wegener, Alfred Lothar Wegener to be percised. He was a german scientist who had the hypothesis for continental drift. His hypothesis got rejected by other scientist because it interferred with their ideas on how mountains form.Wegener used Spitsbergen to support his evidence for continental drift because Spitsbergen is now a snowy reigon and geoigists had found fossils of tropical plants.Tropical plants cannot grow in a snowy reigon.
Why was the hypothesis of continental drift rejected when it was proposed by wegener?
Wegener couldn't explain how or why continents moved.
The man who pioneered the continental drift hypothesis was?
Alfred Wegener
Which type of evidence was not used by Alfred wegener to support his continental hypothesis?
Which type of evidence was NOT used by Alfred Wegener to support his continental drift hypothesis human remains
Which type of evidence was not used by Alfred wegener to support his continental drift hypothesis?
Which type of evidence was NOT used by Alfred Wegener to support his continental drift hypothesis human remains
What types of evidence was used by Alfred Wegener to support his continental drift hypothesis?
human remains
How did fossil provide evidence for Continental drift?
It is any trace of an ancient organism that has been preserved in rock.Fossils provided evidence for continental drift by Wegener's hypothesis. Wegener studied land features, fossils, and evidence of climate change.
Describe How did wegener use climate clues to support his hypothesis of continental drift?
well it wasn't so much climate as the fossils that have been found
What kind of information or items or items did Alfred Wegener use to support his theory?
hypothesis
Is it true that Alfred wegener provided evidence from landforms fossils and climate to support his theory of the shrinking earth?
true
How did Wegener use four type of evidence to help support his hypothesis of continental drift?
I have tried time and time again to figure it out but it is impossible.
How did Alfred wegener use climate evidence from rocks to support his hypothesis?
A continent close to the equator has a warm and mild climate. A continent far from the equator has a colder climate. Wegener found that continents now in a colder climates have evidence that they used to be in warmer climates, or vice versa. E.g. Wegener found that Spitsbergen, an island now in the Arctic Ocean, has fossils of tropical plants, plants that lived in warm places. Spitsbergen couldn't possibly be warm when it was in the Arctic Ocean, so according to Wegener, Spitsbergen must have been located near the equator about 300 million years ago.
What words Describe the land features that provided evidence for Wegener's hypothesis?
ok
What is Alfred wegener's evidence on climate?
Fossils were found that might not have matched that certain climate.
What did wegener used to support his hypothesis and what werevhis weakest evidence?
Fossils were found on the coast of Africa and the coast south America that were in the same dinosaur family. Witch helped Wegener figure that these creatures were once in the same place
