Wegener used similar fossils in Africa and South America as part of the argument for his theory of continental drift - that the continents were connected millions of years ago but then moved apart. Later we found out that his theory had some errors, but it was corrected and now we call it Tectonic Plates.
Wegener noticed that those plants and bones were in different areas . For instance, the dinosaurs were in a distinctive location and the fossils were found in a toatally different continent
Wegener noticed that the continents appeared to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, especially when looking at the coastlines of South America and Africa. He also observed similarities in rock formations, fossils, and mountain ranges across continents that suggested they were once connected. This led Wegener to propose the theory of continental drift.
All paleontologists,(and other people), notice that on every continent, there were similar fossils. Obviously, not all prehistoric/Precambrian organisms could swim all the way across oceans, so the continents had to have moved. This proved Wegener's hypothesis(some really old scientist i learned about in science class)which was continental drift.
Mapmakers noticed that the shapes of continents appeared to fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, suggesting they were once joined together. This observation contributed to the development of the theory of continental drift and later the theory of plate tectonics.
People generally do not notice that the continents drift because they move so slowly. People do notice earthquakes and other natural disasters that are sometimes caused by the movement of the earth's tectonic plates.
It actually does. It moves our oceans and continents everyday. You just don't notice it as the movements are very small.
False. The concept of continental drift and the idea that continents could fit together like pieces of a puzzle was proposed in the early 20th century by Alfred Wegener, a meteorologist, not by geographers in the 1500s.
Because they move so slowly that we can't feel it. It's a bit like why we can't feel the earth turning
Some things people notice about rainbows are the different colors, size, its location, and where it appears to start and end.
How so? Is she shy or what?
Notice boards are incredibly versatile and perfect for any office or meeting room. Notice boards come in several different colours and styles. Basically there great for advertisement !
there are 2 different meanings. 1 is a noun and 1 is not. ex. "Did u notice that new neighbor next door?" that was a verb. ex. "There is an eviction notice on your door." that was a noun. u get it?
A 1 month calendar notice means that notice of an event, such as moving out of an apartment, based on the calendar. This means you would give notice on the 1st of the month if you wanted to move out on the 30th. This is different than a 30-day notice, where you could give notice on the 14th and move out on the 13th of the next month.
