How did wegener use climate clues to support his hypotheseis about continental drift?

he used climate clues and fossil clues and rock clues to figure out for example he found that it was warm in the south and the north and he founddinosaurs fossils on different continents and he found out that there was the same rocks on different continents there so that answers your question.

More scientific evidence comes in the form of plant and animal FOSSILLS of the same age found around different continent shores, suggesting that they were once joined. For example the fossils of the freshwater CROCODILE found in Brazil and South Africa.

How did fossil provide evidence for Continental drift?
It is any trace of an ancient organism that has been preserved in rock.Fossils provided evidence for continental drift by Wegener's hypothesis. Wegener studied land features, fossils, and evidence of climate change.
What kind of information or items did Alfred wegener to support his theory?
He used fossils,climate changes,and landforms to support his theory.

Yes, he did!
