German meteorologist who collected evidence to prove his theory of continental drift
new crust forms and pushes away the old crust
climate evidence
aligned magnetic minerals occur in matching bands on either side of mid ocean ridges
Pangaea
the ocean floor
he could not provide an explanation of how continents moved
Alfred Wegener
The lithosphere is broken up into pieces that move slowly along the surface of the earth
Wegener's theory of continental drift was not accepted because
new crust forms and pushes away the old crust
climate evidence
aligned magnetic minerals occur in matching bands on either side of mid ocean ridges
Pangaea
the ocean floor
he could not provide an explanation of how continents moved
Alfred Wegener
The lithosphere is broken up into pieces that move slowly along the surface of the earth
Exploration of the ocean floor led to the idea of sea floor spreading. This theory is supported by the fact that
new crust forms and pushes away the old crust
climate evidence
aligned magnetic minerals occur in matching bands on either side of mid ocean ridges
Pangaea
the ocean floor
he could not provide an explanation of how continents moved
Alfred Wegener
The lithosphere is broken up into pieces that move slowly along the surface of the earth
All the continents joined together as one was called
new crust forms and pushes away the old crust
climate evidence
aligned magnetic minerals occur in matching bands on either side of mid ocean ridges
Pangaea
the ocean floor
he could not provide an explanation of how continents moved
Alfred Wegener
The lithosphere is broken up into pieces that move slowly along the surface of the earth
The matching glacial grooves and erosion patterns on several different continents were an important piece of Wegener's
new crust forms and pushes away the old crust
climate evidence
aligned magnetic minerals occur in matching bands on either side of mid ocean ridges
Pangaea
the ocean floor
he could not provide an explanation of how continents moved
Alfred Wegener
The lithosphere is broken up into pieces that move slowly along the surface of the earth
After WWII, advances in technology allowed the further study of _______ which provided more evidence in support of Wegener's theory
new crust forms and pushes away the old crust
climate evidence
aligned magnetic minerals occur in matching bands on either side of mid ocean ridges
Pangaea
the ocean floor
he could not provide an explanation of how continents moved
Alfred Wegener
The lithosphere is broken up into pieces that move slowly along the surface of the earth
Sea floor spreading led to the development of the theory of plate tectonics. This theory states that
new crust forms and pushes away the old crust
climate evidence
aligned magnetic minerals occur in matching bands on either side of mid ocean ridges
Pangaea
the ocean floor
he could not provide an explanation of how continents moved
Alfred Wegener
The lithosphere is broken up into pieces that move slowly along the surface of the earth
At a mid ocean ridge, it was determined that
new crust forms and pushes away the old crust
climate evidence
aligned magnetic minerals occur in matching bands on either side of mid ocean ridges
Pangaea
the ocean floor
he could not provide an explanation of how continents moved
Alfred Wegener
The lithosphere is broken up into pieces that move slowly along the surface of the earth
