How did climate help prove Alfred Wegner's theory of continental drift to be true?

Answer 1

Alfred Wegner thought that the continents had all been connected together at one point in time and when they were connected, they were in the center of the world. all the continents were toward the south pole and equator. his question: were all the continents the same temperature at one point during the earth's history? and his answer came back very clear. yes. have you realised a pattern in our weather? have you realised the mountains or landforms? have you noticed the fossils? these are all clues of Wegner's theory to be true!

Answer 2

Climate helped prove Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift by showing that similar fossils, rocks, and geological features existed across continents that were now separated by vast oceans. This indicated that the continents were once connected and had drifted apart over time. Additionally, the distribution of ancient climates (such as glaciers and coal deposits) supported the idea of shifting continents rather than fixed land masses.
