What did Alfred Wegener propose after looking at the rock sequences on different continents?

Because the rock sequences matched so well, he surmised that the continents might once have been joined together.

What is theory called that explains how the continents moved apart?
Continental Drift, unless you are looking for a technical term for something else. Actually, is it theory or is it reality?
What supports the hypothesis of continental drift?
Tropical fossils in Antarctica.
Why does the earth have layers?
Looking at the whole earth is is layered with the densest materials in the core and the lightest materials forming the surface. This is because it was once molten and was therefore able to differentiate into density stratified layers. Looking in finer detail at the surface of the planet, the process of erosion and deposition of rocks causes sediments to be laid down in layers parallel to the surface of the planet. These then get deformed when the continents move and the layers can be seen in outcrop.
Explain how looking at the magnetism of certain rocks helps support the idea that the continents have moved and changed over time?
Most of the the rocks on the edge of the continent all match equally, and some rocks are magnetic North and others are magnetic South. However; this fact only proves that the Earth's landmasses have changed over time.
What are the different terminologies used in tropical design?
This website sucks! i'm looking for answer and this site cant provide but instead ask the same question in return!
How did wegner stummble upon the matching continents that formed pangaea?
Alfred Wegener was looking at maps once, (as he was a weatherman) and found the edges of each continents fit together like a puzzle. He researched it, and then came up with the theory of Continental Drift. The people did not accept his theory, and asked what made the continents move. He thought that that was not his problem, but the people of the world's problem.
When looking a table depicting the genetic code the base sequences signify?
the base sequences signify what genetic code
Whose idea was the continental drift?
I do, looking at the map it does look like a puzzle and all the continents look like they connect or used to connect.
When looking at a table depicting the genetic code the base sequences signify?
When looking at a table depicting the genetic code, the base sequences signify the specific arrangement of nucleotides that code for amino acids. Each three-letter combination, or codon, represents an amino acid or a start/stop signal. These sequences are the instructions for protein synthesis in living organisms.
What was Columbus looking for when he stumbled onto these continents?
He was looking for a direct route to india.
If you were looking at a real globe what would you have to do to see the other continents and oceans?

Does a person use chronology in day to day life?
Yes. Humans are particularly interested in looking for cause-and-effect sequences in events taking place around them. Cause-and-effect sequences are chronology.
What is the difference between serology and DNA test?
Serology is the study of the liquid portion of the blood, and DNA testing is looking at what gene sequences you have.
What landmass have continents once been in?
Several actually but I think the answer you're looking for is Pangaea.

What is the main reason Columbus went to the American continents?
Looking for a new trade route to India.
