I'm no expert, but I know that south America and Africa can fit together well and their mountain ranges are similar, meaning they could have split. Also, the himilayas were formed when India smashed into Asia, causing mountains to rise. Hope that helps.

What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?

I think that continetal drift replaced his theory


All of the following supply he theory of continental drift except what?

The theory of continental drift is primarily supported by evidence such as the fit of continental coastlines, fossil correlations across continents, and geological similarities. However, it is not supported by the idea that continents are fixed in place, as this contradicts the core concept of continental drift, which posits that continents move over geological time. Additionally, the lack of a mechanism for how continents could drift was a significant challenge to the theory before the development of plate tectonics.


What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?

The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.


Who proved continental drift?

The theory of continental drift was proposed by Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist and geophysicist, in the early 20th century. While Wegener did not prove continental drift definitively during his lifetime, his theory laid the foundation for the modern theory of plate tectonics. The definitive proof of plate tectonics came from advancements in seafloor mapping and paleomagnetism in the mid-20th century, which provided strong evidence for the movement of Earth's lithosphere.


What are two things that support the continental drift theory?

Two things that supports the continental drift theory are; 1. Fossil. 2. Continent Shapes.

Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?

The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
