Why did Wegner think continents moved?
he culd fit them 2gafer
What is it called when the continents once formed a huge supercontinent?
Many million years ago, the huge supercontinent theory was proposed by one man named Alfred Wegner. He explained the theory of continental drift which lead to the supercontinent called Pangea. Another man named John Tuzo Wilson proposed to theory of plate tectonics which helped scientists to believe Wegner's ideas. Together Wilson and Wegner proposed Pangea. Later on, it was split into two other smaller continents called Laurasia and Gondwanaland.
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.
How did the continents move from pangaea to their current location?
by the wegner theory that seafloor spreading is going on
Is it gradual that there are movement of continents?
Yes, each continent is getting apart by about 2.5 cm every year. The theory of continental drift was proposed by Wegner (a German Scientist).
How did Alfred Wegner think mountains were formed?
Alfred Wegner thought they where made by such a huge force that comes form two continents smashing together.
Who first noticed the puzzle like fit of the continents?
Alfred Wegner
What was the name of the scientist who created the theory of super continents?
Alfred Wegner
What was Alfred wegners hypothesis about the continents?
Wegner's hypothesis about the continents was that they were once a large land mass, known as Pangaea.
Who obtained new information about continents and their coastlines 400 years ago?
I believe Alfred Wegner
When did Alfred wegner get vindicated?
Alfred Wegner was vindicated because he through that all of Earth's continents were connected into one giant supercontinent called Pangaea and it was due to continental drift (shifting of plate tectonics via convection currents) that the continents started drifting apart to what we see today. Unfortunately, Wegner had no proof of this so people thought he was crazy.
Is Alfred Wegner's last name Wagner or wegner?
Wegner
The U.S. is divided into seven regions according to who?
Alfred wegner Alfred wegner
Who came up with continental drift?
Alfred Wegner made the theory of continental drift and he proved his theory was right and he was right because back then the seven continents were were like one big continent until Wegner new that the continents were drifting apart. He had prove and his prove was that the seven continent were like a jigsaw puzzle, and that the remains of crocodiles and other rare animals were found in America and Africa. Although it has to be said it doesnt take a genius to note the continents were once joined judging by their shape, and that children have been noting this for years CHILDREN!
Who was the scientist who first proposed the theory that the continents drifed?
I can't figure it out, I'm in sixth grade, and I am doing a crossword puzzle, I think it's Alfred Wegner too, but that doesn't fit, please help:{
How did climate help prove Alfred Wegner's theory of continental drift to be true?
Alfred Wegner thought that the continents had all been connected together at one point in time and when they were connected, they were in the center of the world. all the continents were toward the south pole and equator. his question: were all the continents the same temperature at one point during the earth's history? and his answer came back very clear. yes. have you realised a pattern in our weather? have you realised the mountains or landforms? have you noticed the fossils? these are all clues of Wegner's theory to be true!
What does the Theory of Continental Drift?
the movement of the continent i :-)
