What evidence did wegner have for continental drift theory?
Actually there is a lot of evidence that supported his evidence the big one was fossils of animals on distant continents and plants for example Glossopteris was one the strange reasons that Alfred was more than ever to prove his point.Edit:Alfred Wegener proposed that, using 19th century longitude determinations, Greenland had moved 1 mile away from Europe. However, this conclusion ended up being false due to false calculations. Still, Wegener discovered that every year San Diego moved 6 feet closer to Shanghai while Washington D.C. and Paris got 15 feet closer. In addition, Alfred Wegener discovered that related species, too small to swim across the ocean, were found on different continental plates, as well as similar fossils.Alfred Wegener's theory was rejected at first, however, because he was unable to explain the reason why the plates moved. Later, Arthur Holmes published his theory of thermal convection being the the thing that drove the plates apart. He also noted that the continents didn't "move" but were "carried" by larger pieces of the Earth's crust. Discoveries of the Mid-Ocean Ridge in addition to Harry Hess's work adds onto this theory of Wegener's.As this theory is the most complete theory concerning global dynamics, the roots of such lie in the curiosity and work of Alfred Wegener.
What proof of citizenship is needed to rent to illegal citizens?
There IS no proof of citizenship for illegal [citizens] aliens. I should say, there is no legal proof of citizenship for illegal aliens.
Is a Charles Harper printers proof more valuable than an artist proof?
yes
Can i put a camera under water if it's not water proof?
No. If it isn't water proof it will break.
Is there proof that the Mexican yam helps with gout?
There is proof that theMexican yam has components that can be helpful in gout but you would have to eat a truck load of it. this would be poisonous. There is no proof that you can treat gout with Mexican yams.
Why was Alfred wegener theory rejected in the early 1900s?
he had no proof how the continents drifted or what made them drift
How did Alfred wegener's inventions helped us?
It helped us by creating the theory of seafloor spreading which is the proof alfred needed to complete his hypothesis
What made scientists accept Alfred wegener theory years later?
Accumulating data, especially proof of sea floor spreading.
Who thought of plate tectonics theory?
The theory of plate tectonics was developed through the contributions of several scientists, including Alfred Wegener, who proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century. Later research by Harry Hess and Robert Dietz provided evidence for seafloor spreading, leading to the development of the modern plate tectonics theory in the 1960s.
Did Alfred Wegener find any glacier deposits in unusual places?
Yes! He found them very close to the equator, which was very unusual.... just more proof!!!
What did wegener think happens during continental drift-?
he thought that there was a pangaea, a super continent, and proof was found later of of sea floor spreading and fossils of tropical plants in Antarctica. if u need more info its called Google look it up!
How do science know pangaea is real?
scientists proof of pangaea is there were fosils of the same animals or dinosaurs in all 7 continents
Who proved continental drift?
The theory of continental drift was proposed by Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist and geophysicist, in the early 20th century. While Wegener did not prove continental drift definitively during his lifetime, his theory laid the foundation for the modern theory of plate tectonics. The definitive proof of plate tectonics came from advancements in seafloor mapping and paleomagnetism in the mid-20th century, which provided strong evidence for the movement of Earth's lithosphere.
How did Alfred Wegener knew that the 7 continents were once a supercontinent and how did he develop the Continental Drift Theory?
it all loked like a puzzle he said. he had proof like the rock got to Asia from Europe without wind. It was moved when the continents had separated. Also south America and Europe look like they could fit together
Where did wegener look for proof that would support his theory of continental drift?
Alfred Wegener looked for several lines of evidence to support his theory of continental drift, including the fit of the continents like puzzle pieces, matching geological formations across continents, similarities in fossils and plants, and evidence from paleoclimate data such as glacial deposits.
What is the theory of is an outgrowth of Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift?
The problem with continental drift was no mechanism could be found by which the continents could drift through the solid rock of the ocean seafloor. In the 1950s the US Navy found the evidence of alternating polarity magnetic stripes on the ocean seafloor that were symmetrical on opposite sides of the midocean ridges. But this information was kept classified until the late 1970s. When it was declassified and made available to geophysicists it became the proof that showed the continents were not drifting as Wegener proposed, but the earth's crust was divided into plates that dragged the continents along with them as they moved.
When did Alfred wegner get vindicated?
Alfred Wegner was vindicated because he through that all of Earth's continents were connected into one giant supercontinent called Pangaea and it was due to continental drift (shifting of plate tectonics via convection currents) that the continents started drifting apart to what we see today. Unfortunately, Wegner had no proof of this so people thought he was crazy.
