Paleontologists noticed that these were the same on different continents even though the continents were separated by ocean?
The same rocks and minerals from the same batch, dinosaur fossils dating back to the same time periods, natural landforms and structures can be found on completely separate continents. This evidence supports the Plate Techtonics and Continental Drift theories.
Wegener first began to think about his continental drift hypothesis when he noticed a similarity in on different continents?
Alfred Wegener noticed that the continents looked like they could fit together like a puzzle, particularly along their coastlines. This observation led him to propose the theory of continental drift, suggesting that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea.
How did the Chinese go so long in history without being noticed?
They were separated, like a giant island, from the rest of the world. They didn't really welcome outsiders. They didn't even know there was more in the world than them. They didn't think there were other people living in different continents. They thought that they were located on the middle of Earth. That's why they are referred to as "The Middle Kingdom". Hope it helps!
How did Alfred Wegener knew that the 7 continents were once a supercontinent and how did he develop the Continental Drift Theory?
it all loked like a puzzle he said. he had proof like the rock got to Asia from Europe without wind. It was moved when the continents had separated. Also south America and Europe look like they could fit together
What do you see that could have lead observers such as Alfred Wegener to hypothesize that the continents have moved?
Alfred Wegener and others noticed that the shapes of continents seemed to fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, similar fossils and rock formations appeared on different continents, and evidence of past climates that were not possible in current locations. These observations led them to hypothesize that the continents had moved over time, which eventually became the theory of plate tectonics.
What did Alfred Wegener study about Pangaea?
Alfred Wegener was the first to propose the concept of Pangaea, that all the continents were once one super continent. He noticed mountain ranges that seemed to continue past the ocean. He noticed that there were the same species of fossils on two different continents, of animals that would have had no way to travel over oceans. With these and other facts, he concluded that the continents must have at one time been connected to each other, and had moved away from each other, by a process he called Plate Tectonics.
Who first noticed the puzzle like fit of the continents?
Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist and geophysicist, first proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century. He noticed the puzzle-like fit of the continents, suggesting that they were once joined together in a single landmass he called "Pangaea."
Why did wegener believe that the continents were just one big landmass before?
Wegener believed in the theory of continental drift because he noticed that the coastlines of continents seemed to fit together like pieces of a puzzle. He also found similarities in rock formations and fossils across different continents, suggesting they were once connected. These observations led him to propose that the continents were once part of a single supercontinent called Pangaea.
What evidence of climate change did Alfred Wegener use?
The evidence Alfred Werener had were that they found this play called glossopeteris or something like that in the arctic circle and the plat was a tropical plant so it couldn't have grown in the arctic circle. Also the found the fossils of a animal called messosaurus and it was found on the coast of south America and south Africa and the animal wasn't an salt water reptile, could barely swim and he was cold blooded. Alfred Wegener also noticed that the continents fit like a puzzle but anyway, they found glacial scratches in Africa witch isn't close to the south pole. They also found similer coal fields in north America and Europe. Also the mountain ranges in south America and south Africa matched .
What were the three things that Alfred wegener used to prove the theory of continental drift?
Alfred Wegner had 4 theory`s,Climate evidence,Fossil evidence,the continents fitting together like a puzzle,and horizontal movement. The fossils were different types of ancient ferns and Dinosaurs.
