Alfred Wegener proposed the hypothesis of continental drift, which suggested that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Wegener noted that the continents' coastlines fit together like puzzle pieces, and that mountain ranges, fossils, and rock formations matched up on different continents. He believed that over millions of years, Pangaea broke apart and the continents drifted to their current locations.

Write a summary about Alfred
Wegeners hypothesis of Continental Drift. Alfred hypothesis included the geographic that the continents mountain ranges , fossils , rocks all match up . So all the continents used to be all together but then years and years later , they started breaking apart. _______________________________________ _______________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ _______________________________________ _____________________ Envision: Draw a picture of how you think Pangaea looked
supports Pangaea and Continental Drift Hypothesis, do you believe that Pangaea really existed? Explain I believe pangaea is real because all the evidence shows how can the animals swim across the ocean.Also all the mountain ranges all seen to match up their was all fossils that were on Africa which is a hot place , they also found the same fossil on Antarctica.So that why I believe pangaea is real and from this
