The fossils of animals were found the three different continents, but no animal could've swam that far across the salt water, so there had to be another way. Also, the plant fossil glossopteris was discovered in Antarctica, where no plants could live.
One of Wegeners theories was based off of evidence from fossils. These fossils were the Glossopteris plant fossil found in nearly every of the seven continents including Antarctica. And the other fossil was the Mesosaurus land reptile fossil found on Africa and South America which are continents now seperated by vast oceans proving Wegeners theory because these reptiles and plants couldnt have swam or drifted across these large oceans.
He found fossils of the same species which were spread over different continents, showing that the animals and plants had moved across the continents when they were all one land mass. Also, the fossils he was using were from species which wouldn't have been able to travel across the oceans today, which reinforced his point.
There are fossils of the same dinosaurs on different continents across vast oceans that land dinosaurs like these never could have crossed.

yes. some fossil are only available in certain places before... but after the pangea split, ppl find the same fossil bones in differeent coasts that are like super far apart
The continental drift
metosauras and glitospauras
what year did Alfred Wegener graduate college in
Did you mean Plate Tectonics Theory? - Plate Tectonics Theory is the combination of Continental Drift and Ocean/Sea Floor Spreading. BTW. The scientist who started it is Howard Baker continued by Alfred Wegener.

why could wegener alfred be called a interdisciplinary scientist
He used fossils, climates, and rocks.
He used fossils, climates, and rocks.
He used indirectevidence like using fossils.
Fossils were found that might not have matched that certain climate.
climate,fossils,geology
in 1915 wegener figuered out about Pangaea because of three things climate change fossils and land features

Alfred Wegener
he explained it to be because the animals fell in holes and died.
true
Fossils, Climate, and Sea-Floor Spreading
Alfred Wegener was a famous scientist that came up with the theory of continental drift. His evidence was continents could fit together in a mass like a puzzle, fossils of organisms where found where the area was to unsustainable for them, and climate.
