Why is cynognathus a good candidate for providing evidence for the continental drift theory?
Its fossils are found in many different places like South America and Africa which support the theory of continental drift.
Which theory makes the use of Jigsaw fit in its support?
Continental Drift Theory
Does the oceanic plate theory provide evidence for continental drift?
Yes
What did Alfreda Wagner use to support his theory on continental drift?
he told them they drifted apart because they were together
Who did not have experimental evidence to support his theory of the atom?
democritus
Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
What evidence does NOT support the continental drift theory?
it is the process of you finding it yourself!!!
Pieces of evidence does NOT support the continental drift theory?
the continents fit together like a puzzle
What type of information Alfred wegner use on his theory?
He used evidence from landform, climate, and fossils to support his theory of the continental drift.
Why is cynognathus a good candidate for providing evidence for the continental drift theory?
Its fossils are found in many different places like South America and Africa which support the theory of continental drift.
Why fossils support the theory of continental movement?
explain how fossils support the theory of continental movement
What evidence did wegener use to support his theory of continental drift?
genesis chapter 1 verses 9-10 (in the bible)
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.
Which one of the following pieces of evidence did Wegener use to support his theory of continental drift?
the age of the rocks in the sea floor is all the same
What evidence did Alfred wegener have to support his theory of the continental drift?
he had 1.fossils 2.glacial indentations 3.different types of rocks
What is geographic fit evidence of?
The continental drift theory and the plate tectonic theory
What 3 pieces of evidence did Alfred Wegener use to support his theory of continental drift?
he used fossils, glacial indentations, and different types of rock.
