an absence of fossil evidence
The ancient sea that separated Gondwanaland and Laurasia in Alfred Wegener's Continental Drift proposal was called the Tethys Sea.
Continental Drift
"Continental drift" is an appropriate title for Wegener's theory because it describes the movement of continents over long periods of time, drifting across the Earth's surface. The theory suggests that continents were once joined as a single landmass, called Pangaea, and have since drifted apart to their current positions.
The discovery of mid-ocean ridges and the process of seafloor spreading in the 1960s caused scientists to rethink Wegener's theory of continental drift. This new evidence provided a mechanism for how continents could move apart and lent support to the concept of plate tectonics as the driving force behind the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates.
The fit of the continents like pieces of a puzzle, similarities in rock formations and fossil records across continents, and the matching geological structures on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean all supported Wegener's theory of continental drift.
yes it does.
His evidence was incorrect.
unsupported climatic evidence
Plate tectonics, which refers to the concept of continental drift.
There was no evidence to prove it
dont ask me freak
evidence supporting the idea of sea-floor spreading.
plate tectonics
He could not provide a wholly acceptable explanation for the movement of the continents.
It was not excepted because they didn't believe him at all until it was proven!
