The first reason was that his theory of continental drift was just too weak for most geologists to accept. Even though he believed the supercontinent that broke up into different continents moved, he did not have a clear explanation to how the continents moved. The other reason is that some of his explanation clashed with ideas that were widely accepted in the science communities. He used similar fossils from different continents to back up his theory of continental drift. However, at that time, many scientists that had observed similarities in fossils in places like South America and Africa believed there were similar fossils in different continents because of a land bridge that were formed by two continents.
Many science communities believe that land bridges allowed migration of many different species and even people to one place to another by large bodies of water frozen by low temperature known as ice age.
Answer:
Asia - China (followed by India)
north America - USA (closely followed by canada)
european - Russia ( followed by Germany)
oceanic - Australia
Answer:
1. A Struggle for Survival
2. survival will reproduce
3. Superior adaptive variation
Explanation:
1. Observation: overproduction of offspring that can possibly survive.
CONCLUSION: A Struggle for Survival, most of this offspring fight for food and water.
2. Observation: variation in species: member of the same species have different ways of identification, which are color, sex, e.t.c
CONCLUSION: Those individuals that survive and reproduce do so in consequence of "superior adaptive variation" (they are "more fit")
3. Observation: Variation heritable through selection: most survival pass there favourable adaptation to their offspring.
CONCLUSION: Superior adaptive variation will be passed on to offspring generation.
