Question
- which of the following was not used in support of the continental drift hypothesis? ancient climate fossil evidence fit of south america and africa paleomagnetism
Brief Explanations
The continental drift hypothesis (first proposed by Alfred Wegener) was supported by matching fossil records across continents, the geometric fit of continental coastlines like South America and Africa, and ancient climate patterns (e.g., glacial deposits in tropical regions). Paleomagnetism emerged later as evidence for the updated theory of plate tectonics, not the original continental drift hypothesis.
