Question
which source of evidence did wegener use to support his theory of continental drift?
○ fossils found on earth
○ magnetic fields of earth
○ satellite mapping of the tropical islands
○ glaciers found near the poles
Wegener used the presence of identical fossil species across now-separated continents (like Mesosaurus in South America and Africa) as key evidence for his continental drift theory, showing the landmasses were once connected. Magnetic field evidence came later, satellite mapping did not exist in his time, and glaciers near poles alone were not his core supporting evidence.
