Which statement describes one of Wegener’s ideas that contributed to the theory of continental drift?

This statement describes one of Alfred Wegener's ideas that suggests that a very long time ago, the continents were once connected in a landlocked mass. The fact that the continents are separated now shows that the continents are continuously shifting position on the earth's surface.

Explanation:

Wegener used fossil evidence to support his continental drift hypothesis. The fossils of these organisms are found on lands that are now far apart. ... Wegener suggested that these creatures were alive in warm climate zones and that the fossils and coal later had drifted to new locations on the continents.

Explanation: The theory of continental drift contradicted the prevailing theory of geosynclines. The geosyncline theory was used to explain how continents, sedimentary layers, and mountains were formed. The scientific community was invested in the geosyncline theory so rejected the Continental drift theory.

The symbolic place of Alfred Wegener as the forefather of continental drift theory relies on the way geology as discipline constructed its own past in the 1960s.
