What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
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 does Wagner's hypothesis of continental drift state?
Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift proposed that continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea and have since drifted apart over time. This theory laid the foundation for the modern theory of plate tectonics, which explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere.
Why was the wegeners hypothesis o the continental drift not widely accepted at the time it was proposed?
Although it seemed to make a lot of sense, there was no known proof of HOW the continents would drift. It wasn't until years later that we gained knowledge of plate tectonics, which bolstered Wegener's hypothesis.
Wegeners hypothesis of continental drift was replaced in 1967 by which theory that supported his idea continents move?
plate tectonics
What evidence did Wegeners have to support his theory?
Fossils support his hypothesis.
Does the case of mesosaurus support wegeners theory of continental drift?
yes it does.
What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
Why were most scientists disagreeing with Alfred Wegeners continental drift theory?
There was no evidence to prove it
What is the theory that plates have moved apart over tmie?
Alfred Wegeners 1912 theory of Plate tectonics and continental drift.
Why was wegeners theory of continental drift not accepted at first?
It was not excepted because they didn't believe him at all until it was proven!
Why did other scientists not accept Alfred Wegeners theory?
why did other scientist not accpet Alfred Wegeners theory
The supercontinent in the continental drift hypothesis was called?

Why was wegeners theory different?

Why scientists rejected wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
Scientist rejected Wegners hypothesis of continental drift at first because he did not have enogh evidence to support his theory. He failed to provide a suitable mechanism that could cause the continents to move.
