Evidence supporting the theory of continental drift includes the matching shapes of continents like South America and Africa, similar rock formations and mountain chains across continents, matching fossils found on continents that are now separated by oceans, and the alignment of magnetic minerals in rocks on either side of mid-ocean ridges. These pieces of evidence suggest that continents were once connected and have since moved apart.
What else can I help you with?
What are two things that support the continental drift theory?
Two things that supports the continental drift theory are; 1. Fossil. 2. Continent Shapes.
How does coal help support the theory of continental drift?
It supports the theory because it can be found on all of the continents.
What is one way in which the contintal drift hypothesis and the plate tectonic thery differ?
One key difference is that the continental drift hypothesis proposed that the continents moved through the oceanic crust, while plate tectonics theory explains the movement of large rigid plates that make up the Earth's lithosphere. Plate tectonics theory also includes the concept of seafloor spreading and subduction, which were not part of the original continental drift hypothesis.
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
How did Wegener come up with his theory of contintal drift?
When he saw that the plates could fit.
Why didn't scientists believe Alfred wegeners theory abotu contintal drift?
because he was a fat battyboy
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.
What does NOT support the continental drift theory?
they couldn't agree on how it separated or what made it separate.
What are two things that support the continental drift theory?
Two things that supports the continental drift theory are; 1. Fossil. 2. Continent Shapes.
Does the case of mesosaurus support wegeners theory of continental drift?
yes it does.
What are the pieces of evidences that support the theory of continental drift?
Climate, and landforms
How does coal help support the theory of continental drift?
It supports the theory because it can be found on all of the continents.
Fossil that was found on a different continents and was used to support the theory of continental drift?
mesosaurus
What is Alfred wengeners first discover as an scientist?
Alfred Has Been Working On The Contintal Drift For A Long Time And Scientist Are Stilll Trying To Prove The Continental Drift. So The Continental Drift Is His First Discovery...,(:.!? --- Jocelyn !!

What type of information Alfred wegner use on his theory?
He used evidence from landform, climate, and fossils to support his theory of the continental drift.
