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.
Two things that supports the continental drift theory are; 1. Fossil. 2. Continent Shapes.
It supports the theory because it can be found on all of the continents.
Two main factors that led to the discontinuance of the theory of continental drift were the lack of a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move and the rejection of continental drift by the majority of the scientific community at the time. Additionally, the theory faced significant opposition from influential geologists who favored alternative explanations for the geologic features observed.
yes it does.
Fossils support his hypothesis.
There was no evidence to prove it
Alfred Wegeners 1912 theory of Plate tectonics and continental drift.
It was not excepted because they didn't believe him at all until it was proven!
plate tectonics
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.
why did other scientist not accpet Alfred Wegeners theory
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.
rekmr
The discovery of mid-ocean ridges and the process of seafloor spreading in the 1960s caused scientists to rethink Wegener's theory of continental drift. This new evidence provided a mechanism for how continents could move apart and lent support to the concept of plate tectonics as the driving force behind the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates.
they couldn't agree on how it separated or what made it separate.
