One clue is that there were fossils of the same animal on different continents.

the evidence was seafloor spreading.

dominic l said...

the clues were that continent were moving from one place to another with dinosaurs on it.

Matthew B said...

One clue is that there were the same rocks on both contents.also he talked about sea floor spreading.

The clues were that plants and fossils were found across the world. Also the layers of rock were the same across the world.

Dillonleighton said...

One was that the dinos were too big to swim across a sea or ocean.

Chloe O. said...

Plants/Rock layers, how rocks and plants were the same as another continent on the other side of the world

Jared S said...

That the same rock was in two different parts of the world.

Nick C said...

Brooke Carman said...

The Evidence is Dinosaurs, and Plants.

Jakob P said...

Tim D said...

Plants rocks and animals were clues.

One clue is that you could find the same type of rock or plant layer on different sides of the world. Another was that the sea floor was spreading, causing the continents to drift over time.

The continentals fit together like a puzzle.

Hannah Perkins said...

The dinosaurs, the rocks, and plants. These are the clues.

darren said...

he used the fosils on different continents to prove his teory but noone beleved him

Hannah Perkins said...

Also climate.

Jack B said...

That when two part of the ocean are combined it makes pressure and then a volcano erupts.
Plants and rocks and dinos climax.

Cameron M. said...

The supporting evidence of Alfred Wegener's theory are Dinosaurs, Fossils.

Jimbo S. said...

1. Plants/Rock layers, how rocks and plants on the coast were the same as another continent on the other side of the world
2. Fossil Evidence, same fossils and species of animals found near the coastlines
3. Land Margins, how the continents fit together like puzzle pieces

How the animals that can not swim get from one continent to a other continent.

Fossils and plants in different places were evidence.

Dakota Sanborn said...

Dinosaurs, Plants

Anonymous said...

he used dinos plants and tectonic plates

Jake Esty said...

He used the plants, fossils, and the earth spinning.

Lewin P said...

His evidence was fossils on other sides of the world, exotic plants on different continents, the continents fit together good, and the world spun making them move showing mechanics.

Hannah M said...

His evidence was that the continents looked like they fit like a puzzle, there were animal fossils close to the coasts of some continents that could have only lived there, there were plants alike in similar places and the climates were very similar in places like that.

Anthony B said...

Wegeners evidence was animal fossils and plant fossils. His theory was that the earth spinning causes the continents to spread apart.

He found fossils that were the same on two or more continents.

cole s said...

His theory that centrifugal force from Earth's rotation caused the drifting was proved ... They had other theories about it (they were wrong of course) Seeing as it was

Logan H. said...

Alfred used plants, climate, rocks, and fossils and how all of the continents could fit right together for evidence.
