Question

Although he did not present a mechanism, what were the key points of Alfred Wegener’s proposal for the concept of continental drift?

Answer 1

Answer: Alfred Wegener provided some of the important points that supported the theory of continental drift. They are as follows-

1. The continents were once all attached together, and this can be proved by studying the coastlines of some of the continents that perfectly matches with one another.
2. The appearance of similar rock types and similar fossils (including both animals and plants) has also contributed much information that continents were once all together.
