Why was Alfred Wegener’s Continental Drift Theory not accepted immediately by the people during his time?
He cannot explain what causes the continents to drift.
He explains that South America and Africa fit together like a puzzle.
He described that the rocks and mountains at the edges of the continents were similar.
He explains that fossils of ancient plants such as “Glossopteris” can be found in almost all continents.
Which one among the continental drift pieces of evidences mainly proves that the Cape Mountains of South America and Africa line up perfectly before?
There’s equal amount of coal deposits in each continent and fossils.
The evidence from the rock layers in this two continents exactly matched.
The remains of the ancient plant called Glossopteris can be found on both continents.
The climate of the two continents is almost the same and with the same ancient organisms
