Most geologists rejected Alfred Wegener’s idea of continental drift because
Continental Drift
all of these
basalt
because it's unlikely that the Mesosaurus could swim between continents
Wegener could not identify a force that could move the continents.
less dense than oceanic crust
glacial deposits and rock surfaces scarred by glaciers
Magnetic reversals on the seafloor.
How does the Mesosaurus fossil evidence support the continental drift theory?
