He hypothesized that the continents plowed through the ocean floor pushed by the spin of the Earth. Wegener used continental drift to explain evidence of changing climates.
The idea of continental drift has been subsumed by the theory of plate tectonics.
While Wegner's theory of continental drift assumed that continents plowed through and over oceanic crust, his basic ideas are still upheld today. As a result of submarines and radar technology used in WWII, scientists were better able to map the seafloor. In doing so they discovered the seafloor's topography, age, magnetism, and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. After discovering that the seafloor did spread apart and that continents moved, Wegner's theory gradually became accepted.
Which type of evidence was NOT used by Alfred Wegener to support his continental drift hypothesis human remains
Glossopteris
mesosaurus
Mesosaurus Fossils
Mesosaurus fossils
The name of the floral fossils Wegner used for the idea of continental drift was glossopteris. Alfred Wegner used the continental drift as a way to explain the continental shapes.
He used evidence from landform, climate, and fossils to support his theory of the continental drift.
That is what I would like to know,please. :)) I need this answer {ASAP.}
