Summarize the evidence that supports wegner's hypothesis?
The evidence that supports Wegner's hypothesis is that in 1947 , a group of scientisits noticed two things about the Mid- Atlantic Ridge. The first thing that the scientists noticed was the sediment that covers the sea floor is thinner and younger closer to a ridge than it is farther from a ridge. Second, scientists learned that the ocean floor is very young. Radiometric dating shows that the sea floor closer to the mid-ocean ridge are younger, than the ones farther.
