i.e. continental fit across the Atlantic

Multiple species matches (best of which where shallow water or terrestrial where it was infeasible for them to cross such a large water mass)

Mountain ranges fitted together both sides of the Atlantic

Which was used by Wegner to establish the continental drift?

Alfred Wegener used evidence from the fit of continents, distribution of fossils, rock types, and ancient climate data to support his theory of continental drift.


What were the 3 types of evidence the Alfred Wegener used to support his theory of Continental Drift?

Alfred Wegener used fossil evidence, geological evidence, and paleoclimatic evidence to support his theory of Continental Drift. Fossils of the same species found on different continents, similar rock formations and mountain ranges across continents, and matching ancient climate patterns were key pieces of evidence that he presented.


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


Which piece of evidence did Alfred Wegener use to develop the theory of continental drift?

Alfred Wegener used fossil evidence, particularly the presence of identical plant and animal fossils on continents that are now separated by oceans, to develop the theory of continental drift. This suggested that those continents were once joined together.


What was the weakness of wegeners proposal of continental drift?

One weakness of Wegener's proposal of continental drift was the lack of a mechanism to explain how continents could move. Additionally, Wegener's theory was not widely accepted at the time due to insufficient supporting evidence and the reluctance of the scientific community to accept such a radical idea.
