-look at plate boundaries
-the creation of new sea floor at mid-ocean ridges
-alternating bands of magnetic rock on the sea floor
-simple fact that the continents all fit into each other
The fact that rocks formations formed during Pangaea, match on the shores of continents that were connected to each other during the time of Pangaea, same goes for fossils

Is Pangaea theory true?
We can prove Pangaea through the examination of contentital drift.
How did Alfred Wegener prove that pangaea existed?
truth is he couldn't prove it he tryed to show the scientists that the continents could have drifted but the scientists did NOT believe him
What are the three things Alfred Wegener used to prove his theory about pangaea?
Fossils, Climate, and Sea-Floor Spreading
Why was Alfred Wegener unable to prove his theory about Pangaea?
The major issue in that regard was that Wegener did not have a plausible mechanism by which continents might move.
What evidence prove that Pangaea didn't existed?
You can't prove a negative with direct evidence.

When would scientists accept a theory?
probably when you can prove it

What is the verb for proof?
The verb for proof is prove.Other verbs depending on the tense are proves, proving and proved.Some example sentences are:"I will prove this theory"."This proves he did it"."I am proving you wrong"."The theory was eventually proved".

Do fossils help scientists understand climate changes long ago?
Yes, scientists have used fossils to prove that continents were once one big super-continent named Pangaea.
What did Alfred Weneger try to prove?
Alfred Weneger was trying to prove his theory of Continental Drift. Many other scientists before him had the same theory, but they never could prove it. He had five pieces of evidence.
Why were most scientists disagreeing with Alfred Wegeners continental drift theory?
There was no evidence to prove it
What is needed for a hypothesis to develop into theory?
many differnet scientists doing expiraments that prove the hypothesis to be true-then it becomes a theory
What kind of radition helped prove the big bang theory to scientists?
Cosmic background radiation.
Did Charles Darwin has scientific proof of his evolution theory?
Scientists did not prove things then anymore than they prove things now. Evidence, masses of converging evidence support the theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin, in his day, had much evidence to support his theory. All the way from artificial selection to island biogeography. Since that time the theory has moved on to where it is no longer just Darwin's theory, but modified and supported with so much evidence that the theory became the bedrock of biology.
