Question

which evidence did Wegener make use of to develop the theory of continental drift A similar fossils were found on different continent, B there is no evidence of glaciers anywhere in south American, C the climate of Siberia has always been the same, D the Rocky Mountains are taller than the Appalachian Mountain

Answer 1

The correct evidence that Alfred Wegener used to develop the theory of continental drift is:

A. Similar fossils were found on different continents.

Wegener noted that identical fossils of plants and animals, such as the freshwater reptile Mesosaurus and the plant Glossopteris, were discovered on continents that are now widely separated by oceans. This was one of the key pieces of evidence he presented to support his theory that continents were once joined together in a single landmass before drifting apart.

The other options provided do not directly support the theory of continental drift.
