yes it does.
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.
The main theory on the continental divide is that they relate to the plate techonics theory of the Earth's crust. The other theory is the continental drift theory where lighter rocks float on heavier crustal material.
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
The main problem with Wegners theory of continental drift was that at the time he proposed it he had no real proof.
Alfred Wegner originally thought of the continental drift theory, but he wasn't believed when he presented it. After his death (of course) the theory was proved.
mesosaurus
The fossil of Mesosaurus, a small aquatic reptile, was found in both South America and Africa. Its presence on different continents was used as evidence to support the theory of continental drift, as it suggested that the continents were once connected and later drifted apart.
Fossils support his hypothesis.
The fossil that was found on different continents and used to support the theory of continental drift is the Mesosaurus. This extinct freshwater reptile had limited swimming abilities, making it unlikely that it could have crossed vast oceans. Its distribution on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean provided evidence of land connections that later formed the basis for the theory of continental drift.
There was no evidence to prove it
Alfred Wegeners 1912 theory of Plate tectonics and continental drift.
plate tectonics
It was not excepted because they didn't believe him at all until it was proven!
The case of Mesosaurus does support the theory of continental drift, particularly in the context of plate tectonics. This freshwater reptile's fossils were found in both South America and Africa, which are now separated by the Atlantic Ocean. The presence of such a species in these two distant locations suggests that the continents were once joined, allowing Mesosaurus to inhabit both regions. Thus, it provides evidence against the idea that these continents have always been in their current positions.
Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift suggested that continents move over time on Earth's surface. This theory provided support for the concept of seafloor spreading, which explains how new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges and spreads outward. Both theories contributed to the development of the theory of plate tectonics, which explains the large-scale movements of Earth's lithosphere.
why did other scientist not accpet Alfred Wegeners theory
