The Theory of Continental
          Drift
Continental Drift Theory
• Proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912
• 250 million years ago, all of the continents
  were combined into one super-continent
  called “Pangaea”
• The continents gradually drifted apart to
  where they are today
Evidence to Support the Theory
“Puzzle Pieces”
• Continents look like
  they could be part of
  a giant jigsaw puzzle
Distribution of Fossils
• Plant and animal
  fossils found on the
  coastlines of different
  continents
Sequence of Rocks
• Same rock patterns
  found in South
  America, India, Africa,
  Antarctica and
  Australia
Ancient Climates
• Tropical plant remains
  (coal deposits) found
  in Antarctica
• Glaciation in Africa,
  South America, India,
  and Australia during
  the same time
Problems With The Theory
• No mechanism for movement of
  continents
• Wind and currents could possibly move
  fossils
• Theory was not accepted by scientists
