What are 3 pieces of evidence Wegener used to support his Continental Drift hypothesis?

Bonus: (100 points)What evidence was missing that caused his idea to be ignored?

D 500

Evidence for Continental Drift:

• Continent's shapes appear to fit together like puzzle pieces.

• Fossils of the same critters are found on different continents.

• Matching climate evidence was found on different continents.

• Mountain and rock formations match on different continents.

Missing Evidence:

• Wegener could not explain HOW the continents were moving.

• (When the Mid-Atlantic Ridge was discovered 30 years after he died his idea was incorporated into the Plate Tectonic Theory.) D 500

Ash and gases released from the eruption block

sunlight and reduce global temperatures.
