Explain who proposed the continental drift theory?
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift at the beginning of the 20th century. His idea was that the Earth's continents were once joined together, but gradually moved apart over millions of years. The idea was rejected at first as he was a Meteorologist and not regarded as a proper scientist.
Was the theory of Albert Wegener accepted during his lifetime?
No, not until later was this theory proven and supplemented by the theory of plate tectonics.
Scientist have found fossils of the same organism on different continents what does this suggest?
The discovery of fossils of the same organism on different continents suggests that these landmasses were once connected as part of a single supercontinent. This supports the theory of plate tectonics, which explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere. The distribution of these fossils provides evidence for the movement of species across land bridges or through continental drift over millions of years.
What were Charles Darwin's contributions to Wegeners theory of continental drift?
Most people actually state that Darwin beat Wegener to the theory of continental drift as he mentioned in most of his studies about the continents drifting apart and fitting together.
What is the theory that explains the slow movement of continents on the earth's surface?
The theory of the movement of peices of Earth's surface is that they break apart and they move everywhere around through the suface -& and the layers of the earth. this is what causes it being cold because all these peices move around and then the warm will break away and it will open up abd it will be cold.
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 are two things that support the continental drift theory?
Two things that supports the continental drift theory are; 1. Fossil. 2. Continent Shapes.
Does the case of mesosaurus support wegeners theory of continental drift?
yes it does.
What are the pieces of evidences that support the theory of continental drift?
Climate, and landforms
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
How does coal help support the theory of continental drift?
It supports the theory because it can be found on all of the continents.
What was the name of Alfred Wegener's support of continental drift?
Alfred Wegener's support of continental drift was known as the theory of "continental drift," which proposed that the continents were once joined together as a single supercontinent called Pangaea and have since drifted apart.
What is the volcanic and the drift continental theory?
the Continental Drift Theory is the slow movement of the Earths continents. A.K.A the continents drift
Fossil that was found on a different continents and was used to support the theory of continental drift?
mesosaurus
When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
What type of information Alfred wegner use on his theory?
He used evidence from landform, climate, and fossils to support his theory of the continental drift.
