alfred wegener said that earths continents are moving. which evidence supports this theory? different types of rocks on opposite coasts revolution of the earth similarities in human fossils close geometric correspondence of continental coastlines
Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift is supported by the close geometric correspondence of continental coastlines, which suggests that the continents were once joined together. Different types of rocks on opposite coasts would not be strong evidence for continental movement. The revolution of the Earth is a general planetary - motion concept not directly related to continental drift. Similarities in human fossils are more related to human migration and evolution rather than the movement of continents.
