From the previous lesson, you have learned about Theory of Continental Drift in which Wegener thought that the seven continents we know today had been once a part of a supercontinent called Pangaea. It broke apart like pieces of a puzzle and moved to their present location, becoming today's continent.

Can you still remember the evidence of the Continental Drift Theory?

Can you figure out these evidence that supported this theory?

How about the evidence of the Seafloor Spreading Theory?

What could be the reasons why scientists rejected Wegener's idea of Continental Drift?

The four pieces of evidence for the continental drift include continents fitting together like a puzzle, scattering ancient fossils, rocks, mountain ranges, and the old climatic zones' locations.

Fossils of similar organisms across widely disparate continents encouraged the revolutionary theory of continental drift. He called this movement continental drift. Pangaea. Wegener was convinced that all of Earth's continents were once part of an enormous, single landmass called Pangaea.

The study of the repeated reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles over time has provided convincing evidence of seafloor spreading.

Wegener believed that continental drift explained fossils of tropical plants found in places that today have a polar climate. Most scientists rejected Wegener's theory because he could not explain the force that pushes or pulls the continents.
