Why was Wegeners hypothesis rejected by most scientists of his day?
Wegener made a strong case for continental drift as you may know. E.g. similar rock strata on opposing continents, similar fossil types located in geographically distant regions, evidence of glaciation and the general jig-saw fit of the continents. He could not explain however how the continents moved, that is, what force was acting on them and causing them to drift. He suggested that a combination of centrifugal force from the Earth's rotation and gravitational forces from objects in space (similar to what causes tides) moved the continents. Calculations proved this to be impossible. Since he could not explain the mechanism because little about plate tectonics was known at the time, his ideas were not widely accepted in the scientific community.
What types of evidence was used by Alfred Wegener to support his continental drift hypothesis?
human remains
How did Alfred Wegener use rock and fossil evidence to support his hypothesis-?
Wegener used the fit of the continents, the distribution of fossils, a similar sequence of rocks at numerous locations, ancient climates, and the apparent wandering of the Earth's polar regions to support his idea.http://kids.earth.nasa.gov/archive/pangaea/evidence.htmlin other words rock types and agesRock types and ages.
What evidence did Alfred wegener have to support his theory of the continental drift?
he had 1.fossils 2.glacial indentations 3.different types of rocks
What 3 pieces of evidence did Alfred Wegener use to support his theory of continental drift?
he used fossils, glacial indentations, and different types of rock.
What types of vegetation do high latitude climate zones support?
it is the grand canyon, in high latiudes
What were the four types of evidence Wegener showed to prove his theory?
?
What hypothesis is Alfred Wegner known for?
Continental Drift, in 1912. In 1915, Wegener published ,The Origin of Continents and Oceans (Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane), Wegener wrote the theory that there had once been a "super" continent, he named "Urkontinent"German word meaning "origin of the continents". Which goes hand in hand with his earlier hypothesis of continental drift, which after extensive research on rock types & fossils on either side of the Atlantic ocean, the similarity was shocking
