Best Answer

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

  1. south America and Africa fit as a jigsaw
  2. found the same fossil in south America and Africa proving the animal couldn't swim the ocean
  3. ice sheets coverings southern Africa India Australia and South America about 250 million years ago. how can ice sheets developed in hot country the only reason is plate tectonics

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.

What are three kinds of evidence that support wegener's theory?

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!

What are Plate tectonics evidence?

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.
