1. Plants/Rock layers, how rocks and plants on the coast were the same as another continent on the other side of the world
2. Fossil Evidence, same fossils and species of animals found near the Coastlines
3. Land Margins, how the continents fit together like puzzle pieces
Three REASON Alfred Wegener gave were
Wagner found 3 type of results
1.The Earth's continents looked like puzzle pieces so he spent hours trying to put these pieces together.
2.He looked at other peoples theories.
3. He spent hours doing research
----------------------------------------------------
Correct answer
--------------------------------------------
Wegener's three supporting evidences were;
1. Continental Margins (Land masses fit together like a puzzle)
2. Rock layers (How they were similar on the coast lines as well in a different continent.
3. Fossil evidence (How some animals were identical on the other side of the world, and how tropical plants were found in Arctic regions.
First the ground cant move second the weight is heavy 3rd there is no possible way
1.)Sea floor spreading.
2.)A quantitative method of determining the position of the continents in the geological past.
3.)Convection in the Earth's mantle.

In science, a theory is something that is not fully proven, but has strong supporting evidence. Some common theories that are well known, and seen by most people as fact include; Evolution, Plate Tectonics, and Gravity. All three of these have enough evidence to be scientifically sound, but we have not yet given 100% proof to turn them from scientific theory into scientific law.
The three contributers to cell theory are Shliden, Shwann, and Virchow.

It is provisional (so only holds until proved incorrect, or 'falsified'). It is based on, often hidden, fundamental assumptions and beliefs. There are a number of others. i.e. It is often based on a mathematical abstraction of a limited part of nature. It is normally founded on interpretations of observations, which are consistent with much of the evidence, but rarely all. --- Here are three slightly different: 1) It is based on observation and experiment. 2) If observations and experiments continue to support the theory, it may become widely accepted. 3) If it becomes widely accepted, it may be used to explain and possibly predict natural phenomena.

The pieces of evidence Alfred Wegener used to support his theory about continental drift were; Puzzle Fit, Fossil evidence from animals that were once on the same continent, geologic evidence like mountain chains that were connected and now split apart, and ice sheets. Thank you for reading this article and I hoped it answered your question!
Pweeeeeeee
The theory of plate tectonics has succumbed to the newer theory of continental drift. Scientists believe this theory today due to three main factors. First, the continents appear to fit together. When the continental shelves, as opposed to just the continents, are placed together, the fit appears uncanny. Second, the distribution of fossils is consistent with continental drift. Lastly, glacial deposits once covered parts of the earth that are currently tropical.ANSWER: The plate tectonics theory is relatively new and formulated only in the 1960s. The evidence listed above in the first answer can only support the continental drift theory which was developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. Evidence that can support the plate tectonics theory are the age, depth of oceanic sediments, volcanic activity, geothermal gradient, gravity anomalies, paleomagnetism and seismologic evidence. If you are answering an exam question on evidence supporting plate tectonics, evidence supporting continental drift theory should only come later in your answer and should not be given too much emphasis, for the plate tectonics theory involves more than just the continental crust drifting around and cannot support the main hypotheses of the plate tectonics theory.

three are : eruptions of molten material magnetic stripes in the rock of the ocean floor and the ages of the rocks themselves :)

Alfred Wegner had 4 theory`s,Climate evidence,Fossil evidence,the continents fitting together like a puzzle,and horizontal movement. The fossils were different types of ancient ferns and Dinosaurs.
Morphological evidence.Genetic and genomic evidence.Geographical evidence.
