Question

explain how wegener used climate clues to support his hypothesis of continental drift answer in 1 to 2 sentences

Answer 1

Wegener pointed out mismatched climate evidence—Permian glacial deposits and striations across South America, Africa, India and Antarctica, and tropical plant/coal deposits in now‑cold regions—that made sense only if those continents had once occupied different latitudes. When he reconstructed the continents into Pangaea, the climate clues lined up into coherent polar and tropical belts, supporting his continental drift hypothesis.
