What are pieces of evidence that support the idea of Pangaea?
Continental Fit, Fossil Evidence and Sea floor Spreading. I just did this in science a month ago. :)
What evidence supports the idea of pangaea?
Fossil records, land forms(mountains,ect), weather and climate
What are three pieces of evidence used to support the idea of Pangaea?
The three pieces of evidence used to support the idea of Pangea include the shape of the continents, fossil records, and geographical markers. Pangea was the single land mass which broken into numerous pieces to create the Earth as it is today.
Who came up with the idea of Pangaea?
Alfred Wegener
What does the term Pangaea describe?
Pangaea, also known as the Supercontinent, is the land mass that may have existed at about 250 million years ago. It was a single land mass that consisted of all of the continents, which have since drifted to their current positions. The idea of Pangaea was first proposed by Alfred Wegener. Evidence pointing to the existence of Pangaea includes similarities in fossils and rocks on continents which are now far away and that the coastlines of some of today's continents appear to fit together like puzzle pieces.

What are three forms of evidence that Wegner used to support his idea of continental drift and which interested him the most?
That is what I would like to know,please. :)) I need this answer {ASAP.}

Why wasn't Wegener's theory of Pangaea accepted at first?
His idea was not accepted because people back then did not believe that the plates could move. They also thought you could fall off the Earth but that is a different question. The theory was put forward first by Abraham Orthelius but was fully developed by Alfred Wegner. His theory was not thought of because people thought it was not possible for the tectonic plates of the earth to move.
Who came up with the idea of Pangaea?
Alfred Wegener
When did Alfred wegener announced his discovery?
wegner's idea was annouced a few years ago
33 What was the name of the floral fossils Wegener used for the idea of continental drift?
The name of the floral fossils Wegner used for the idea of continental drift was glossopteris. Alfred Wegner used the continental drift as a way to explain the continental shapes.

What showed proof for Alfred Wegener on Pangaea?
We know Pangaea existed because of fossil evidence. There were fossils of the same animal found on Africa and South America. This animal couldn't have possibly swam across the ocean. Therefore, making the idea of Pangaea plausible.
Who first put forward the idea of Pangaea?
Alfred Wegener first put forward the idea in 1912
Why was Alfred Wegner's idea of continental drift ignored?
people thought it was crazy at the time but then it was later found out that he was correct
