   DIRECTIONS: 1) Label each continent with its name. 2) Color the fossils or mountains in the legend and color the symbols on each continent in the colors of the legend. 3) Cut out the continents and match up the fossil and mountain evidence to recreate Pangea. 4) Glue the continents into place on your contruction paper. Greenland. India.

   In the early 1900’s, German Meteorologist Alfred Wegener developed a theory describing how the continental land masses were moving across the Earth. He called this movement Continental Drift. Wegener noticed that the continents fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

   Nov 8, 2023 · Alfred Wegner was a German geophysicist who formulated the first complete statement of the continental drift hypothesis. Although he was not the first to suggest that continents have moved about the Earth, his presentation of carefully compiled evidence inspired decades of scientific debate.

   How did Alfred Wegener prove continental drift?

   • Wegener’s evidence, along with evidence provided by post World War II technology, eventually led to universal acceptance of the theory of continental drift. Alfred Wegener collected diverse pieces of evidence to support his theory, including geological “fit” and fossil evidence.

   How do you assess a theory of continental drift?

   • For self assessment, the teacher may hand out the Wegener's Key to Continental Positions. Assign students to two groups, those who have determined that the evidence supports the theory of continental drift*, and those who believe that the evidence does not support the theory. Have these two groups debate their positions.
