What is the Big Bang theory?
A theory that states that the universe started from a small mass and then expanded; the expansion cooled down the temperature, resulting in the formation of matter, energy, space, and time.
A theory that states that the universe was there, will be, and is there. It is homogeneous and isotropic.
A theory that states that the universe is slowly coming back to a center.
A theory that states that the universe started from a large mass and then imploded to form everything.

Plates
Tectonics
Plate Tectonics
Wegener found fossils of land reptiles on two different continents. This was important because
Land reptiles are often found all over the world, showing that they can survive in most climates
Land reptiles cannot swim, so the continents must have been connected for them to get across
Land reptiles are never moved around the Earth by humans, so they must have travels to these continents by themselves
Land reptiles fossilized much better than other animal species

Rock Formation Evidence
Climate Evidence
Soil Evidence
Fossil Evidence
Why was Wegener's hypothesis not accepted?
He could not explain what force was moving the continents
He was a meteorologists, so no one took him seriously
He did not have enough types of fossils to support his theory
Because scientists thought Harry Hess' theory was better
