Question

in the early 1900s a scientist named Alfred Wegener study, geology, and meteorology. He noticed that north western Europe, which generally has a cool climate, contained the type of cold deposits that could only be formed in hot, wet climate. He also knew that paleontologists, his steady, fossil records, had found fossils of similar extinct reptiles in Africa and South America, even though those reptiles would not have been able to swim across the ocean that now separates Africa and South America
What theory is supported by Wegener’s observations
Plate tectonics
Atomic
General relativity
Gravity

Answer 1

Alfred Wegener's observations support the theory of **plate tectonics**. He proposed the idea of continental drift, suggesting that continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea and have since drifted apart. His analysis of geological and fossil evidence across continents supports this theory, as it indicates that landmasses that are now separated by oceans were once connected.
