What 4 evidences did Alfred wegener use to support the continental drift theory in 1912?

Answer 1

-Shape of continents

-Fossil evidence

-Glacial evidence

-Similar rocks found in dfferent continents

Answer 2

Alfred Wegener had a theory. That theory was that all of the continents were once joined together to make one giant land mass. It was called Pangaea. He also had five proofs: Jigsaw Puzzle Fit: Matching Coastlines. The continents seem to fit like puzzle pieces. (South America fits right into Africa) Plants and Animals Match: Fossils of late Paleozoic age were found on several different continents. South America and Africa have matching fossils. Rock Match: South America and Africa have the same kinds of rocks. They also have the same mountains chains. Its like there cut in half. Ice Matches: An ice sheet covered parts of India, Africa and South America. Positions Don't Match: 300 million years ago the present northern continents were at the equator. Tropical plants were found in Antartica.

Answer 3

Alfred Wegener used four main pieces of evidence to support the continental drift theory in 1912: the jigsaw-like fit of the continents, similarities in rock formations and mountain ranges across different continents, the distribution of plant and animal fossils, and matching geological features on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

Answer 4

Yea

He Proved That South America and Africa look like puzzle picture

The rest of the evidence were researched by other scientist

Answer 5

there were five

1 puzzle match

2 fossils

3 climate change

4 rock formation

5 glacial deposit
