Which type of evidence was not used by Alfred wegener to support his continental drift hypothesis?
Which type of evidence was NOT used by Alfred Wegener to support his continental drift hypothesis human remains
Was used to by Wegner to establish continental drift?
He hypothesized that the continents plowed through the ocean floor pushed by the spin of the Earth. Wegener used continental drift to explain evidence of changing climates.
How did Alfred Wegener prove the theory of continental drift?
He didn't. Evidence which points to continental drift was discovered later, after he died.
What evidence was used to support continental drift?
same rock samples, change in weather, past climates
Matching what on different continents are evidence for continental drift?
Rock Structures
What was a plant used for evidence for continental drift?
their roots
Which type of evidence was not used by Alfred wegener to support his continental drift hypothesis?
Which type of evidence was NOT used by Alfred Wegener to support his continental drift hypothesis human remains
What does provide evidence for continental drift?
Is there a list? Continental drift is real, so religious fanatics don't provide evidence for continental drift.

Why is the platypus good evidence for continental drift?
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.

Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
What evidence was used to support continental drift?
same rock samples, change in weather, past climates
