How are tectonic plate movements similar?
"Plate tectonics" is a fancy word for "Continental Drift". In both theories the continents move.
What supported Wagner's theory of continental drift?
Several evidences were given as proof to the theory of continental drift, they include; 1. Climatic evidence (Paleoclimatic Reconstruction). 2. Fossil evidence (Paleontological proof). 3. Continental fit. (Continental margin shapes). 4. Lithological and Stratigrapical similarities of adjacent continental masses. 5. Seafloor spreading. 6. Glacial till. 7. Plate tectonics.
What are the 5 pieces of evidence for wegners continental drift theory?
The five pieces of evidence for Wegener's continental drift theory are: (1) the fit of the coastlines of continents like South America and Africa, (2) the distribution of similar fossils and rock types on different continents, (3) the alignment of mountain ranges across continents, (4) the presence of ancient glacial deposits in tropical regions, and (5) paleoclimatic evidence such as coal beds in Antarctica.
What are the stages in a continental drift?
Well, Continental Rifting is the process in which a continent is literally pulled apart. First, sediment collects on the floor of the rift valley. Oceanic crust made of gabbro and basalt is formed, which is dense and causes the valley to sink. Eventually, ocean water flows into the valley. There you have it. Hope this Helped.
What are the 3 subtypes of convergent plate boundaries?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.

Used as evidence for continental drift?
There are four things that are used for evidence for the continental drift. The four continental drift was Shape of continents, fossil evidence, glacial evidence and similar rocks found in different continents.
What 3 pieces of evidence did Alfred Wegener use to support his theory of continental drift?
