He also cited evidence (based on his own astronomical observations) that showed that the continents were moving with respect to each other, and determined a separation rate between Greenland and Scandinavia of 11 m per year, although he admitted that the measurements were not accurate.
22 Αυγ 2024 · Wegener also called upon evidence for the Carboniferous and Permian (~300 Ma) Karoo Glaciation distributed throughout South America, Africa, India, Antarctica, and Australia (Figure 4.6). He argued that this distribution could only be explained if these continents were all connected as a single supercontinent at the time.
One of the most important contributions to the development of plate tectonic theory was Alfred Wegener's 1915 publication of 'The origin of continents and oceans' which outlined his theory of Continental Drift. Wegener supported his argument with five lines of evidence.

24 Απρ 2024 · Wegener referred to the evidence for the Carboniferous and Permian (~300 Ma) Karoo Glaciation in South America, Africa, India, Antarctica, and Australia (Figure \(\PageIndex{4}\)). He argued that this could only have happened if these continents were once all connected as a single supercontinent.

4 ημέρες πριν · Alfred Wegener, German meteorologist and geophysicist who formulated the first complete statement of the continental drift hypothesis. His theory was rejected by most geologists during his lifetime but was resurrected and made a central feature of modern geology as part of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s.
