Some occurrences which support the continental drift hypothesis include the fact that the characteristics of the edges of each continent closely match with those of other surrounding continents. The continents also have an almost jigsaw fit.

and the reverse magnetic polarity show seafloor spreading which shows that the continents are moving.
the Coastlines of South Africa and south ameria seem to match and fit together like a jigsaw and so do many other countries which gives the impression that all the continents were onced joined together as a massive continent called Pangaea

Scientists use the magnetic properties of some minerals as evidence of?
Continental drift.
Which of the following is not evidence supporting the theory of continental drift?
Wagner has a theory on continental drift and the evidence that did not support it is where we see the continental drift in examining species of animal and human life drifting from continent to continent without the aid of mechanical devices or some form of trasportation except for by their own feet and them being the drifters of the continents.
Why was Wegener's Theory of Continental Drift accepted?
While geological research during the sixties had shed new light into the theory, it was J. Tuzo Wilson's proposal of a mechanism for continental drift what led to widespread acceptance of the theory. Proposing a feasible mechanism was something Wegener himself had failed to do, he had only proposed some evidence (complementary coastlines and fossil distributions across continents.) and falsified mechanisms (like Earth's centrifugal pseudoforce).
What happened to change peoples old views and lead them to believe in continental drift?
Evidence such as the shape of continents and similar fossils found on various continents help demonstrate that some continents may have been connected. It took decades for many to accept the theory because the idea was first introduced in 1912.
Is longshore drift the cause or effect of a longshore current?
Angled waves create a current that runs parallel to the coatline. As waves repeatedly hit the beach, some of the beach sediment moves down the beach with the current.
What is some evidence that supports Nicolaus Steno theory?
bull
Scientists use the magnetic properties of some minerals as evidence of?
Continental drift.
How did fossils contribute to the idea of continental drift?
Name a fossil that was found on different continents and was used to support the theory of continental drift.
What is scientific evidence appeal?
Scientific evidence appeal is some form of proof which supports or counters a scientific theory. This is the information that will be used as empirical evidence of a hypothesis.
How fossils provide evidence for the Continental drift?
The scientists that found the fossils found that were found on different continents. Some of the same fossil were located on each Continent that could only survive in one climate. Therefore, a fossil provided some evidence for the continental drift to be true.
What scientific evidence supports the burning of magnesium?
Strange question. either you have lit some magnesium (in which case you have observed it burn) or not. The evidence is in the burning.
Some scienctist have suggested that Pluto is not a planet what evidence supports such an idea?
Pluto IS NOT a planet - by definition.
What are some evidence in lamb to the slaughter supports the theme revenge?
I don't know I want to know too
Evidence that supports the theory of continental drift has been provided by?
Proof of Continential drift is that they found fossils of the same animals and plants on different continents.They also found the same rock patterns on different continents.Also some continents fit together likea jigsaw puzzle.
How does a rock from the seabed end up in areas with no beaches?
Possibly from continental drift or maybe glaciers transported them during the ice age. You can find sea shells in wyoming as high as the continental divide. Maybe at one time those mountains were actually below sea level and continetal drift pushed them way above sea level but left some sea life behind.
Does Justin Bieber write music?
There is no evidence that supports that he does. Like most pop stars, some other person writes the music for them.
