What made Wegener believe the continents may have all been one unit?
Wegener noticed a striking similarity in the shapes of the continents, especially along their coastlines. He also observed that identical plant and animal fossils were found on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, geological features such as mountain ranges and rock formations seemed to match up when continents were pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle.
Do mountain ranges on different continent seem to match?
Yes, some mountain ranges on different continents appear to match when continents were once part of the same supercontinent, such as Pangea. For example, the Appalachian Mountains in North America have similar rock structures and formations as the Caledonian Mountains in Europe, suggesting they were once connected.
Match the feature or term in column 1 to the characteristics in column 2. A. Pangaea Super ocean B. Panthalassa Supercontinent C. Himalayas Caused by continents colliding D. Magma Generated in subduct?
A. Pangaea: Supercontinent B. Panthalassa: Super ocean C. Himalayas: Caused by continents colliding D. Magma: Generated in subduction zones
What evidence is there along Africa and America to suggest the continents were once attached?
Fossil evidence, such as similar plant and animal species found on both continents, as well as rock formations that match up when the continents are reconstructed into a supercontinent called Pangaea, suggest that Africa and America were once connected. Additionally, the discovery of similar geological features, such as mountain ranges and coastlines, along the western coast of Africa and eastern coast of South America provides further support for this theory.
Why 2 continents that may have once fit together no longer appear to fit again?
You mean like Africa and South America? (grin). At one time, they did fit together. The constant movement of earths tectonic plates has caused them to move into their current positions - which are constantly changing, too. thank you a lot
What clues helped the scientists match the pieces of the dead sea scrolls?

What evidence is there for pangea?
Evidence for Pangaea includes the fit of the continents, where coastlines match up like puzzle pieces, as well as similarities in rock formations, fossils, and mountain ranges across different continents. Additionally, paleoclimate data, such as glacial deposits in tropical regions, supports the idea of a supercontinent in the past.
Continental drift is supported by what evidence?
Evidence supporting continental drift includes the distribution of fossils and rock formations that match across continents, the fit of continental coastlines like puzzle pieces, and the alignment of mountain ranges and geological structures across continents. Additionally, the matching of ancient climates and glacial deposits across separate continents supports the theory of continental drift.
2 What was probably the first evidence that led some to suspect the continents were once connected?
The matching coastlines and geologic similarities between continents, specifically between South America and Africa, led some to suspect that the continents were once connected. This evidence, known as continental drift, was proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century.
How do you beat exit 13 on 100 exits?
All you have to do is beat it then u could pass
How do you do the hexagon puzzle in riddle transfer?
In Riddle Transfer, to solve the hexagon puzzle, you need to rotate and arrange the hexagonal pieces to match the provided image or pattern. Each piece can typically be rotated to fit the adjacent pieces correctly. Pay attention to the colors and patterns on the edges to ensure they align properly with neighboring pieces. Once all pieces are correctly positioned, the puzzle will be complete.
What evidence is there of Pangaea?
Evidence of Pangaea includes the fit of the modern continents, similarities in rock formations across continents, distribution of fossils found on continents that were once part of Pangaea, and geological structures found in different continents that line up when Pangaea is reconstructed. Additionally, the mapping of ancient climate belts and glacial deposits provide further evidence of the supercontinent.
What are matching coastlines?
Matching coastlines are coastlines from different continents that seem to fit together like puzzle pieces. This observation led to the development of the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics, as it suggests that these continents were once joined together as a single landmass. A famous example of matching coastlines is the fit between the eastern coast of South America and the western coast of Africa.
What 4 evidences did Alfred wegener use to support the continental drift theory in 1912?
-Shape of continents -Fossil evidence -Glacial evidence -Similar rocks found in dfferent continents
Is it possible that the continents were connected to each other in some way?
Indeed they were. 225 million years ago they were all part of supercontinent Pangaea. That's why distant coastlines seem to match in some places like pieces of a puzzle. It is popular scientific belief that the continents were once all connected into one large continent. Yes they were connected. If you look closly at a map they all fit together.
What are two pieces of evidence for continental drift?
Fossil evidence of the same species found on different continents and rock formations that match up across different continents are two pieces of evidence for continental drift. These support the theory that continents were once connected and have since moved apart.
How do you play the game where you fit pieces together?
To play the game where you fit pieces together, you need to carefully match and connect the pieces to create a complete picture or pattern. The goal is to use your spatial reasoning skills to find the right placement for each piece to complete the puzzle.
