Wegener's hypothesis for continental drift, proposed in the early 20th century, suggests that continents were once part of a single supercontinent called Pangaea, which gradually broke apart and drifted to their current positions. He based his hypothesis on evidence such as the fit of continental Coastlines, similar geological features across continents, and fossil correlations. Despite presenting compelling evidence, Wegener's theory was initially met with skepticism due to the lack of a mechanism to explain how continents could move. It wasn't until the development of the theory of plate tectonics that his ideas gained widespread acceptance.
What else can I help you with?
What discovery led scientists to accept Wegeners continental drift hypothesis?
One day while scientists were exploring the sea floor, they discovered sea-floor spreading, thus proving Wegener's hypothesis to be correct.
What is a synonym for continental drift hypothesis?
ll
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
What is the theory that plates have moved apart over tmie?
Alfred Wegeners 1912 theory of Plate tectonics and continental drift.
The hypothesis that continents have moved is called continental?
The hypothesis that continents have moved is called continental drift. This theory suggests that Earth's continents were once joined in a single supercontinent called Pangaea and have since moved apart to their current positions.
What was the reason wegeners continental drift hypothesis was rejected?
His evidence was incorrect.
Wegeners hypothesis of continental drift was finally confirmed by?
evidence supporting the idea of sea-floor spreading.
Wegeners hypothesis of continental drift was replaced in 1967 by which theory that supported his idea continents move?
plate tectonics
