In 3–5 sentences, identify and describe the fossil evidence Wegener used to support the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics.
Can anyone help me?
don't listen to Connexus (respectfully) they are trying to help but the answers shifted every time I reloaded the page. it's right for them but it can destroy your grade for you (unless you are very lucky ofc).
Certainly! To support his theories of continental drift and plate tectonics, Alfred Wegener used fossil evidence. He observed that identical fossil species, such as certain plants and animals, were found on separate continents that are now widely separated. For example, the fossil remains of the Mesosaurus, a freshwater reptile, were found in both South America and Africa. Wegener argued that this could only be explained if these continents were once joined together, and subsequently drifted apart over time. This evidence of shared fossils provided strong support for his theory of continental drift and later formed a crucial component of the broader theory of plate tectonics.
