∙ 10y agoI think that continetal drift replaced his theory
It supports the theory because it can be found on all of the continents.
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist and geophysicist, presented the theory of continental drift in 1912. His theory was later supported by evidence from paleontology, geology, and geophysics, leading to the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
Cynognathus is a good candidate for providing evidence for the continental drift theory because its fossil has been found in both South America and Africa, which were once connected in the supercontinent Gondwana. This distribution pattern supports the idea of continental drift, as it suggests that these continents were once joined together and later drifted apart.
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.
they couldn't agree on how it separated or what made it separate.
yes it does.
Climate, and landforms
One piece of evidence that does not support the continental drift theory is the lack of a mechanism to explain how continents could drift across the Earth's surface. Additionally, some geologists have suggested that the movement of the continents is due to other processes like subsidence and uplift rather than drifting. Finally, the theory of plate tectonics provides a more comprehensive explanation for the movement of the Earth's lithosphere compared to the original theory of continental drift.

Alfred Wegener looked for several lines of evidence to support his theory of continental drift, including the fit of the continents like puzzle pieces, matching geological formations across continents, similarities in fossils and plants, and evidence from paleoclimate data such as glacial deposits.
the Continental Drift Theory is the slow movement of the Earths continents. A.K.A the continents drift
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
