Why didn't the scientific world believe Alfred Wegener and continental drift?
Lack of evidence
When did the earth continental drift?
The theory of continental drift was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912, suggesting that the continents were once joined together as a single landmass called Pangaea. Over millions of years, the continents have moved apart due to the process of plate tectonics.
Why do you think people didn't believe continental drift theory when Wagner first explained it?
because they believed god made the world as it is, and it was perfect.
What is Wegener's theory?
It is the Continental Drift theory, whereby the landmasses of the world today were together and are slowly drifting apart The theory was proposed by Alfred Wegener.
How are fossils useful evidence of continental drift?
Fossils found on different continents that were once connected provide evidence of continental drift because they show similarities between species that lived in the same geographic region. By studying these fossils, scientists can track the movement of continents over time and piece together the history of Earth's land masses.
What are the driving forces of continental drift?
The driving Forces of Continental drift are both gravity and the motion of the underground Tectonic Plates.
What is the study of the movements?
Plate tectonics or continental drift. Hello Bobs of the world
What is the process of continental drift and how has it shaped the Earth's geography over millions of years?
Continental drift is the concept that the world's continents once were a single mass and have since drifted to their present positions.

What was used to dispute continental drift?
Continental drift is a concept relating to the movement of the Earth's continents. The proving of the continental drift theory came from evidence found around the world. Foremost, scientists had discovered that similar plants and animal fossils were found in or around different continents, suggesting that they were once joined. The theory of plate tectonics also supported continental drift. If one were to look at a global map, the complementary arrangements between South America and Africa can be easily seen.
Who was the first who divided the world into seven continents?
Continental drift achieved it about 200 million years ago.
Who thought that similar stone structures around the world meant there was a continental drift?
Alfred Wegener, according to Wegener the continental drift explains why fossils of the same plant and animal species are found on continents that are on different sides of the atlantic ocean.
How did fossils contribute to the idea of continental drift?
Name a fossil that was found on different continents and was used to support the theory of continental drift.
Who is wegener?
Alfred Wegener is the person who came up with the theory of continental drift in the time around world war one.
