Tectonic plates
Alfred Wegeners 1912 theory of Plate tectonics and continental drift.
Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift suggested that continents move over time on Earth's surface. This theory provided support for the concept of seafloor spreading, which explains how new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges and spreads outward. Both theories contributed to the development of the theory of plate tectonics, which explains the large-scale movements of Earth's lithosphere.
Climate patterns and fossil evidence can help support continental drift theory. For example, matching rock formations and fossils across continents suggest they were once connected. Additionally, similarities in climate types and geological features between distant landmasses also provide evidence for past continental connections.
he told them they drifted apart because they were together
No, Alfred Wegener provided evidence from continental drift and fossil distribution to support his theory of plate tectonics, not a shrinking Earth. Wegener's theory suggested that the continents were once connected in a single landmass (Pangaea) and drifted apart over time due to the movement of tectonic plates.
Fossils support his hypothesis.
yes it does.
why did other scientist not accpet Alfred Wegeners theory
rekmr
He used fossils,climate changes,and landforms to support his theory.
Yes, because he found fossils from a fresh water lizard, in two different continents separated by salt water.
it makes sences
Climate, and landforms
hypothesis
It is not so much the climate, but it is the tectonic plates movement, and fossils of extincted animals on different continents that support this theory. Also, fossils support the theory of evolution that was proven by Charles Darwin.

There was no evidence to prove it
