The scientific means for proving his hypothesis had not yet been developed.
Alfred Lothar Wegener
because it just is
Denied
Yes, because he found fossils from a fresh water lizard, in two different continents separated by salt water.
they though he was crazy and became his critics
fossils,rocks and climate
Plate tectonics, which refers to the concept of continental drift.
no because then they would know least about the world
He proposed the idea of continental dift, which is very cool!
dont ask me freak
Pangaea
evidence supporting the idea of sea-floor spreading.
plate tectonics
people in 1915 thought that he was crazy, and back theen they didn't have the technology to support Wegner's idea.
mountains usually occur in narrow bands along the edges of continents

The distribution of mountain ranges across different continents, such as the Appalachian Mountains in North America and the Caledonian Mountains in Europe, supports Wegener's idea of continental drift. These mountain ranges were once connected when the continents were part of a supercontinent, and their alignment provides evidence for the movement of land masses over time. Additionally, the presence of similar geological features and rock formations on separate continents suggests a shared history of mountain building.
