Three pieces of evidence that Wegener did provide for his theory were:
The map to the left shows the location of
Divergent plate boundaries
Convergent plate boundaries
Transform boundaries

Hawaiʻi's hot spot doesn't display the typical relationship between volcanoes and plate boundaries, yet it does provide evidence of plate tectonics. How?
Model 1 demonstrates what kind of boundary? Why?
Model 2 demonstrates what kind of boundary? Why?
Model 3 demonstrates what kind of boundary? Why? Why are all three called "models"?
How does the theory of plate tectonics account for earthquakes? Volcanoes? Mountains?
