One day while scientists were exploring the sea floor, they discovered sea-floor spreading, thus proving Wegener's hypothesis to be correct.
Sea Floor Spreading
Wegener's theory of continental drift is supported by a vast quantity of evidence, which is why scientists have accepted it.
people in 1915 thought that he was crazy, and back theen they didn't have the technology to support Wegner's idea.
His ideas where not generally believed because he was an astronomer and meteorologist. Also scientists believed the earth was shrivelled like an old apple.
Although it seemed to make a lot of sense, there was no known proof of HOW the continents would drift. It wasn't until years later that we gained knowledge of plate tectonics, which bolstered Wegener's hypothesis.
The continental Coastlines fit together like puzzle pieces, fossils, and glacier Grover in warm places
His evidence was incorrect.
There was no evidence to prove it
evidence supporting the idea of sea-floor spreading.

The evidence that supports wegeners hypothesis is the fossil evidence
yes because they didnt know how wegners inteligence was and they should have tried it in the firts place anyway it would have helped relize that his hypothesis waas correct when they dobt of him!

Because identical fossils were found on two continents far apart, it suggested that at one time the two landmasses were joined together. In other cases of lands separated by far less distance, plants did not propagate across the divide.

Fossils support his hypothesis.
