Wegener found lots of clues to support his theory! ๐ต
๏ธโโ๏ธ He discovered that similar plants and animals lived on continents that are far apart today. For example, fossils of a plant called "Glossopteris" were found in Africa, South America, and Antarctica! ๐ฑ
He also noticed that the same types of rocks and mountain ranges, like
the Appalachian Mountains in America and the Caledonian Mountains in Scotland, were alike. This was surprising! Wegener also studied how icebergs and glaciers left marks on the ground, showing how continents could be affected by climate changes. โ
๏ธ These pieces of evidence helped him form his ideas!
