The way the advances in technology are changing Wegener's hypothesis is because we can now collect information and data on the Tectonic Plates. Without the technology we have now, we would know hardly anything about why the plates.
Wegner's theory was not accept because he didn't have much evidence to support his theory with and scientists thought that there might have been a land bridge between the continents. Another reason to why his theory was rejected was that he was a foreigner, by that; the scientists didn't really take him seriously.
stop cheating i know it is on a science worksheet if you truly dont know then pay attention in class you idiots dont be so lazy stupid as
Yes, three.
People thought he was crazy and not very smart but he proved them. He found a way.
Fossil evidence showing similar plant and animal species in regions that are now widely separated provides support for Wegner's hypothesis of continental drift. This suggests that the continents were once connected in a single landmass.
yes
Alfred Wegner's hypothesis about Pangea was that it is one whole big continent.
He used evidence from landform, climate, and fossils to support his theory of the continental drift.
They rejected Wenger's theory for half a century because he didn't have the evidence to prove his theory No, He did have evidence to prove his theory, they just did not believe him- TheSystem because of their lack of knowledge of the Earth He actually had evidence, but it was actually because the hypothesis interferred with their own hypothesis about how mountains form.
In Africa there are scratch marks that could only have been caused by glaciers but Africa is by a hot place by the equate so once it was colder there
Scientist rejected Wegners hypothesis of continental drift at first because he did not have enogh evidence to support his theory. He failed to provide a suitable mechanism that could cause the continents to move.
Two main pieces of evidence that support Wegner's theory of continental drift are the fit of the continents' coastlines, indicating they were once connected, and the distribution of similar fossils and rock formations across separate continents, suggesting a shared geological history.
Wegner's hypothesis of continental drift was supported by evidence such as the jigsaw-like fit of continents, similarities in rock formations and geological structures across continents, and matching fossil evidence found on different continents. Additionally, the discovery of mid-ocean ridges and magnetic striping on the ocean floor provided further evidence for the movement of continents.
The evidence that supports Wegner's hypothesis is that in 1947 , a group of scientisits noticed two things about the Mid- Atlantic Ridge. The first thing that the scientists noticed was the sediment that covers the sea floor is thinner and younger closer to a ridge than it is farther from a ridge. Second, scientists learned that the ocean floor is very young. Radiometric dating shows that the sea floor closer to the mid-ocean ridge are younger, than the ones farther.
Four pieces of evidence used by Alfred Wegener to support his theory of continental drift were the fit of the continents, matching geological formations across continents, similar fossil distributions, and glacial evidence in tropical regions.
