What theory is supported by Wegener’s observation
1 answer
The theory of continental drift is supported by Wegener's observations. Wegener proposed that the Earth's continents were once joined together in a single supercontinent called Pangaea and have since drifted apart to their current positions. This theory is supported by evidence such as the matching shapes of continents, similarities in rock formations and fossils across different continents, and the fit of continental shelves. Wegener's observations provided important evidence for the theory of continental drift, which eventually led to the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
