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.

It is good evidence of continental drift as fossils of previous duck billed platypuses were found in America and Alaska, which Australia was once connected to. This means the platypuses once lived there hence evidence of continental drift.


Are fossils evidence of continental drift?

Yes, fossils are evidence of continental drift because similar fossils have been found on different continents that are now far apart. This suggests that these continents were once connected, supporting the theory of continental drift.

What was used to dispute continental drift?

Continental drift is a concept relating to the movement of the Earth's continents. The proving of the continental drift theory came from evidence found around the world. Foremost, scientists had discovered that similar plants and animal fossils were found in or around different continents, suggesting that they were once joined. The theory of plate tectonics also supported continental drift. If one were to look at a global map, the complementary arrangements between South America and Africa can be easily seen.
