Yes, Alfred Wegener believed that Earth's climate changed over geological time. He proposed that continental drift could lead to significant climatic shifts as landmasses moved to different latitudes, affecting temperature and precipitation patterns. His theories suggested that regions now experiencing temperate climates may have once been located in polar regions, further indicating that Earth's climate has undergone substantial changes throughout its history.

Alfred Wegener named his theory of the horizontal movement of the Earth's crust "continental drift."
How is earth climate today diffrent from earths climate in the past?
i dont know what is it
Why did Wagener's theory of continental drift not accepted?
Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift was not initially accepted because he lacked a mechanism to explain how continents could move. Additionally, his evidence was considered insufficient and geologists at that time did not believe that continents could drift over time. It was not until the theory of plate tectonics was developed in the 1960s that Wegener's ideas gained widespread acceptance.

What does the earths tilt determine?
mostly climate
Why didn't people believe Wegener's theory of continental drift?
At the time, Wegener's theory lacked a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move. Additionally, there was limited evidence to support his ideas, and geologists were hesitant to accept such a radical departure from the prevailing scientific consensus. Wegener's background in meteorology also led some to dismiss his geological theories.
Wegener's theory that the continents slowly moved over earths surface became known as?
Wegener's theory that the continents slowly moved over Earth's surface became known as the theory of continental drift.
Earths atmosphere was first changed by?
photosynthesis

Seasons And Climate
What is earths climate directly linked to?
Relationship to the sun
What are some of the major kind s of evidence that earths climate differed in the past?
There are fossils of tropical rainforest plants in areas that are now dry desert. Either the land has moved (which has also happened), or the climate changed. This is one of the most obvious bits of evidence for past climate change, but there are numerous others.
What evidence did wegener gather to support his continental drift hypothesis?
Well it wasn't so much climate as the fossils that have been found. Fossils have been found in Antarctica of plants that only occur in tropical climates so at one point it must have had a tropical climate. That is the most dramatic example but there are more subtle ones that led him to believe that the continents, at one point, must have been in different locations on the Earth and then moved to where they currently are.
