Question

Alfred Wegener couldn't explain how the lithospheric plates moved to support his continental drift theory, but he did present evidence for it, including _____.

tropical plant fossils found on Antarctica.
Mesosaurus fossils found on both Africa and South America.
ancestors of families found on several different continents.
Appalachian Mountain range starts in North America and begins again along the European coastline.

Answer 1

Alfred Wegener presented several lines of evidence to support his continental drift theory, including:

1. Tropical plant fossils found on Antarctica.
2. Mesosaurus fossils found on both Africa and South America.
3. Appalachian Mountain range starts in North America and begins again along the European coastline.

The option regarding "ancestors of families found on several different continents" is somewhat vague and not a widely recognized piece of evidence used by Wegener. The other three options are well-documented pieces of evidence he cited.
