Well, a scientist named Alfred Wegner noticed that too, and so he came up with his famous hypothesis: He said that, all continents were once joined together in a single landmass and have since drifted apart. This landmass together was called Pangea.]]> 2017-11-16 20:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/marias8/unh6zgb6t4la/wish/207892425 pferrari1 https://padlet.com/marias8/unh6zgb6t4la/wish/207893589 Wegener used evidence of climate change to support his hypothesis. As a continent moves toward the equator, its climate gets warmer. As a continent moves toward the poles, its climate gets colder. ]]> 2017-11-16 20:28:22 UTC https://padlet.com/marias8/unh6zgb6t4la/wish/207893589 pferrari1 https://padlet.com/marias8/unh6zgb6t4la/wish/207895395 Wenner attempted to explain how continental drift took place. He suggested that the continents plowed across the ocean floors. But wegener could not provide a satisfactory explanation for the force that pushes or pull the continents. Because Wegener could not identify the cause of continental drift, most geologists of his time rejected his idea ]]> 2017-11-16 20:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/marias8/unh6zgb6t4la/wish/207895395 marias8 https://padlet.com/marias8/unh6zgb6t4la/wish/207897084 2017-11-16 20:37:26 UTC https://padlet.com/marias8/unh6zgb6t4la/wish/207897084 jbolanos3 https://padlet.com/marias8/unh6zgb6t4la/wish/207898981 Wegner also used fossils to support his hypothesus for continental drift. A fossil is any trace of an ancient organism that has been preserved in rock. ]]> 2017-11-16 20:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/marias8/unh6zgb6t4la/wish/207898981 marias8 https://padlet.com/marias8/unh6zgb6t4la/wish/207899015 Wegner pieced together maps of Africa and South America and he noticed that the mountain ranges on the continents line up. ]]> 2017-11-16 20:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/marias8/unh6zgb6t4la/wish/207899015 jbolanos3 https://padlet.com/marias8/unh6zgb6t4la/wish/207900681 The ocurrence of Glossopteris on landmasses that are now separated by oceans indicates that Pangea once existed. ]]> 2017-11-16 20:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/marias8/unh6zgb6t4la/wish/207900681 jbolanos3 https://padlet.com/marias8/unh6zgb6t4la/wish/207901146 Other examples include fossils of the freshwater reptiles Mesosaurus and Lystrosaurus .
