Because he found fossils of plants that has heavy seeds and cant travel with seeds across oceans on a lot of the continents that are separated by oceans. Also, he found an oceanic animal that is only fresh water on parts of land that are separated by salt water. The fossils of the fern like plant was called Glossopteris
He used fossils to help his theory. Because he found fossils on 2 continents that had fossils on each side.
hey what's up jb is cool.isnt he awsome

Wegener's theory of continental drift is supported by a vast quantity of evidence, which is why scientists have accepted it.
Nobody believed Wegener's theory because it wasn't likely that continental drift was the explanation of why the plates had seperated.
Alfred Wegener
Alfred Wegener
Alfred Wegener Proved The theory of Continental Drift.
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
genesis chapter 1 verses 9-10 (in the bible)
In the 1960's scientists uncovered new evidence that seemed to support Wegener's theory.
the age of the rocks in the sea floor is all the same
he had 1.fossils 2.glacial indentations 3.different types of rocks
The pieces of evidence Alfred Wegener used to support his theory about continental drift were; Puzzle Fit, Fossil evidence from animals that were once on the same continent, geologic evidence like mountain chains that were connected and now split apart, and ice sheets. Thank you for reading this article and I hoped it answered your question!
he used fossils, glacial indentations, and different types of rock.
He didn't. Evidence which points to continental drift was discovered later, after he died.
fossila and landforms
Alfred Wegener used various pieces of evidence to support his theory of continental drift, including the fit of the continents, rock and fossil similarities across continents, glacial evidence, and similar geological features on different continents.
