What made the scientific community accept wegener's theory years later?
Alfred Wegener was the proponent of the Continental Drift Theory. The scientific community accepted this theory due to the phenomena of paleomagnetism, sea floor spreading and plate tectonics.
Evidence of continental drift?
Continental Drift was devised by Alfred Wegener. Evidence would be: 1. Deposition of glacial tills in the southern continents and how they match when connected together. 2. Location of terrestrial fossils e.g. Mesosaurus which fossils can be found in South America and Southern Africa which were once connected. 3. Locations of old mountain chains e.g. Caledonians. 4. Location of fossil deserts, swamps and salt lakes. 5. Palaeomagnetism where lava which contains iron which is magnetic solidified marking the position of magnetic north in the lava. When the rocks which were formed from the solidified magma it was found that the rocks didn't point to what is now magnetic north proving that the continents must have moved so that the rocks could have at one point pointed north.
