Why did geologists in the Southern Hemisphere accept wegners theory?

Geologists in the Southern Hemisphere accepted Wegener's theory of continental drift because they observed similar geological features and fossil assemblages across continents, providing evidence of past connections. Additionally, the fit of continents like South America and Africa suggested they were once joined. This, along with other data, supported the idea of continental drift.


How did the work of geologists support Darwin?

Geologists supported Darwin's ideas by helping him understand the concept of gradual change over long periods of time. The study of rock layers and fossils provided evidence for the slow evolution of species, which aligned with Darwin's theory of natural selection. Additionally, geologists helped Darwin appreciate the vast age of the Earth, allowing for enough time for evolution to occur.


What part of Dalton's theory of was disproved when scientists discovered that atoms contain protons electrons and neutrons?

John Dalton believed that atoms were the fundamental building blocks of matter, and that they could not be created, destroyed or split. However he was wrong, because atoms are made out of subatomic particles such as Protons, Neutrons and Electrons - and later still, it was discovered Protons and Neutrons too are made of even smaller particles.


How did Alfred Wegener Get His Theory Out?

Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of continental drift through publications, such as his book "The Origin of Continents and Oceans" in 1915. He presented his ideas at scientific conferences and engaged in discussions with other geologists to promote his theory, despite facing initial skepticism from the scientific community. Wegener's theory gained more widespread acceptance after his death.


What were Alfred wegeners accomplishments?

he theorized about the continental drift and he also said that a pangaea formed 200 million years ago
