∙ 11y ago•Plants and animal fossils similar to each other are found on different shores throughout the continents.
For example a reptile called Mesosaurous , kind of like a small crocodile, was found in both Brazil and South Africa
•The same types of rock formations on one side of the ocean look almost exactly the same as continents on the other side of the ocean.
For example, the Coastlines of Africa and South America look like they are supposed to fit exactly together.
•Fossils from different continents now far apart, are the mostly the same.
For example, fossils of a plant called glossopterteris is found in Africa, Australia, Antarctica and South America.

∙ 12y agoFossil remains of some organisms were found on separate continents. Their structural features and habitats would make it impossible for these organisms to cross such vast distances. Wegener's hypothesis provided the only explanation for this phenomenon.

∙ 11y agobecause he found a dinosaur and it was big and so it supported his hypothesis but he also peed on a tree and there was a fossil there

Why did scientists disagree with Wegeners's theory of how the continents moved?
Hi was this for homework? This was what my homework was I'm 12 years old and I figured it out. I hope this helps u guys xx :) 300 millions years ago ,the continents were joined together. Now they are separated and Alfred Wegener proved that they were joined. They did not believe him for the same reason they didn't listen to Galileo. Scientists that I've known have always said they have to see it to believe it. Well, it's kind of hard for them to see it if they think the guy is a nut -- or they refuse to see it because it would go in the face of everything they believe. Very likely they didn't think there was enough "evidence". Like, why aren't elephants naturally in North America? That kind of thing.

How is it easy to support a hypothesis?
Well...it all depends on the hypothesis. For example, if you know exactly how to back it up with evidence, than very easy. But...if your hypothesis is kind of 'far out', and finding evidence will be difficult, then writing it will be hard.
What kind of proof is required when disproving old ideas?
experimental evidence that supports the new idea
Can a message saved to your voice mail be used as evidence in small claims court in Maryland?
Yes, it doesnt matterwhat kind of evidence there is, as long as it supports your case.
What kind of results would confirms a hypothesis?
A result which is consistent with a hypothesis adds weight to the evidence in favour of that hypothesis: it makes it more likely that the hypothesis is true. But you can never ever confirm a scientific hypothesis. The best that you can do is to show that an alternative hypothesis is unlikely. There could be another hypothesis which is better than the one you started with as well as the alternative that you compared it with: but you simply do not know.
In what kind of proof do you assume the opposite of what you want to prove?
This is a "proof by contradiction", where the evidence would fail to support the reverse assumption, giving credence to the original hypothesis.
How is a problem different from hypothesis?
A problem is a kind of question. A hypothesis is a kind of estimate of how something works or why it doesn't work, or is, or is not, or might eventually be.
What are the kind of hypothesis?
the 3 kinds of hypothesis are: 1. alternative: this is the hypothesis that is affirmative, positive, and approving..... this gives a positive possible result of the experiment. 2. null: this is a negative hypothesis about the experiment........ 3. cause and effect: this kind of hypothesis gives a cause and effect hypothesis.... this has the "if & then" clause...... (example: "if sunlight affects the growth of plants, then it might slow down or fasten the plant's growth.")
What is non-directional research hypothesis?
