What were Alfred wegeners accomplishments?
he theorized about the continental drift and he also said that a pangaea formed 200 million years ago
What did scientist believe before Continental Drift?
Before the theory of Continental Drift was widely accepted, scientists believed in the concept of stationary continents. They thought that the continents were fixed in place and did not move over time. This idea was known as the theory of continental permanence.
What discovery caused scientists to rethink wegeners continental drift theory?
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.
Which observation supported Wegeners theory of continental drift?
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.
Why is ''cotinental drift'' an appropriate title for wegeners theory?
"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.
Why was wegeners theory of continental drift not accepted at first?
It was not excepted because they didn't believe him at all until it was proven!
Does the case of mesosaurus support wegeners theory of continental drift?
yes it does.
Why were most scientists disagreeing with Alfred Wegeners continental drift theory?
There was no evidence to prove it
Did people believe the theory of continental drift?
No they didn't
What is the theory that plates have moved apart over tmie?
Alfred Wegeners 1912 theory of Plate tectonics and continental drift.
Do you believe in Alfred wegeners theory?
they though he was crazy and became his critics
Wegeners hypothesis of continental drift was replaced in 1967 by which theory that supported his idea continents move?
plate tectonics
What did people think of Arthur wegeners theory of pangaea?
it makes sences
Why did other scientists not accept Alfred Wegeners theory?
why did other scientist not accpet Alfred Wegeners theory
Why did people believe continental drift theory when Wagner first explained it?
the scientist were jealous of him
Why didn't scientists believe Alfred wegeners theory abotu contintal drift?
because he was a fat battyboy
