Discard it all.
Evolution is a theory because even though scientists have found a lot of evidence to support it, many other people tend to disagree with it, being opinionated or religious reasons.
They would find what theory this evidence supports instead (according to AQA exam mark sheet)
This is because there is more evidence to suggest one theory took place over another. More evidence means a larger likelyhood. But likelyhood alone cannot conclusively present an answer, therefore even though some theories are more PROBABLE, they are only as POSSIBLE as any other theory which has evidence to support it.
1977!
There is strong support for the theory of evolution due to fossils that have been found by archeologists. The fossil records show evidence of evolution over billions of years.
Scientist rejected Wegners hypothesis of continental drift at first because he did not have enogh evidence to support his theory. He failed to provide a suitable mechanism that could cause the continents to move.
The 3 pieces of evidence is: 1. fossils 2. climate 3. glaciers Wegner found out that the same fossils were found on a different continent. There was this tropical plant (i forgot whats it called) was found at a icy cold region so then the plant couldn't grow there only by continental drift. The glaciers have scratches on them which was one of the evidence. I hope this really helped :D
Some people believe in that theory, but some people believe in Adam and Eve. Scientists claim that they have found evidence that we started from apes.
Scientists found evidence in Rodinia in Antartica.
The evidence of the theory of continental drift can be found on the edges of the tectonic plates. For example, the boundary of the African Plate and the Eurasian plate is in the Mediterranean Sea, just south of the island of Crete. At this boundary, scientists have observed that the Eurasian Plate is sliding under the African Plate at a rate of three to four centimeters per year as the African Plate drifts north.
Its fossils are found in many different places like South America and Africa which support the theory of continental drift.
There is evidence that CFC's have formed hole in the ozone. These evidence are found by scientists.
