How Wegener try to prove the theory of continental drift?
Wegner proved his theory because the fauna and flora found across all continents was similar,the jigsaw fit of Africa and America
How do distinctive rock formations support the theory of continental drift?
The shapes of continents appearing on the map clearly show similar shapes and how the continents might fit together.
Alfred wegener noticed that the cost of south America fit like a jigsaw puzzle?
Alfred Wegener noticed that the coast of South America seemed to fit into the coast of AFRICA, just like a jigsaw puzzle.
What were the three things that Alfred wegener used to prove the theory of continental drift?
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.
Alfred wegener noticed that the coast of south America seemed to fit into the coast of the continent just like a jigsaw puzzle?
Africa
Which theory makes the use of jigsaw fit in its support 1 Tidal Hypothesis 2 Tetradydral Hypothesis 3 Cycle of erosion 4 Continental Drift Therory?
tidal hypothesis
How do you know about continental drift?
Wegner developed this theory not only because many continents appear to fit together like a jigsaw, but also because he had fossil and climate evidence to support the fact that the continents once fit together.
How Wegener try to prove the theory of continental drift?
Wegner proved his theory because the fauna and flora found across all continents was similar,the jigsaw fit of Africa and America
What is the structure of most tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates fit together like a jigsaw puzzel that makes up the earth.
What are 5 factors wegener used to support his theory of continental drift?
1. The continents fit together, like a jigsaw puzzle. 2. Similar plant and animal fossils. 3. Large ice sheets. 4. Tropical plants. 5. Scratches on the rocks.
The theory of plate tectonic suggest that?
This theory suggests that large, jigsaw like pieces of rock float on the upper mantle. It suggests that they fit together all over the planet, and are moving, though slowly at times. This theory was inspired by Alfred Wegner's theory of continental drift.
How are the continents like a jigsaw puzzle?

the continents fit together like a puzzle
What evidence did Abraham Ortelius have?
His "evidence" was the jigsaw fit of the continents. -channing(:
What new led to the theory of plate tectonics?
Continental drift, sea floor spreading, glacial striation, jigsaw fit of the continents, geological matches on different contintents (such as type of rock or fossil found) ,earthquakes, and volcanoes led to the theory of plate tectonics.
