he theorized about the continental drift and he also said that a pangaea formed 200 million years ago
Alfred Wegener's supercontinent is called Pangaea.
Alfred wegeners theory of continental driftIs that once all the continents were all join as one massive land mass. (and split apart.)
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
Alfred Wegener's full name is "Alfred Lothar Wegener", and he is a German scientist who came up with the theory of Continental Drift.
Alfred Wegener's idea that tidal forces could cause continental drift was refuted as impossible because tidal forces act on ocean water, not solid land masses. The forces required to move continents are much greater than those caused by tides. Additionally, there was no mechanism known at the time to explain how tides could cause such significant movement of continents.
He proposed the idea of continental dift, which is very cool!
why did other scientist not accpet Alfred Wegeners theory
no
Alfred Lothar Wegener
Anna Wegener
He was born in Berlin.
Alfred Wegener's supercontinent is called Pangaea.
because it just is
he had a mom named bebin and a dad named lucas
There was no evidence to prove it
Plate tectonics, which refers to the concept of continental drift.
dont ask me freak
