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 plate tectonics is about the?

the proof is that the continents fit together as a puzzle and they were once joined as a super continent known as Pangaea and because of plate tectonics they drifted away, Go see the Continental drift theory


How did the study of paleomagnetism help prove wegener's hypothesis?

Before discovering that rocks are imprinted with the direction of magnetic orientation that exists at the time of their creation, no proof existed to confirm Wegener's hypothesis. When rocks were examined from both sides of the Mid-Ocean Ridge, the magnetic orientations were found to be mirror images of each other, indicating that the seafloor was spreading outward, and therefore pushing the continents apart.


What is the theory describing the movement of earth's continents over time?

Is there any conclusive proof that ghosts are real?

Even with new technology there is still no conclusive proof that ghosts are in fact real. While believers point to orbs, shadows, and mist phenomenon caught on camera as "proof" no scientific peer reviewed literature exists on the topic. Until science takes on that cause it will always be a matter of belief.


Why the continental drift is not rubbish?

We have proof that continental drift is not rubbish. The proof is that animals that don't live or ever have lived in that space are found (but rarely) in those places where they don't/never have live in.

What does no conclusive mean?

"No conclusive" means that there is not enough evidence, information, or proof to confirm a definitive conclusion or decision. It indicates uncertainty or lack of finality in a particular situation or outcome.


What are the most conclusive proof of continental drift?

The continents seem to fit together when moved around. Mountains, earthquakes and other phenomena due to the shifting of tectonic plates also support the idea that the continents are drifting.
