Alfred Wegener Continental Drift Theory
Storyboard Text
- Animals and fossils in the same place? hmmm.... Continents Separated??? better find out!
- I will call this single landmass as Pangea! and this will be my continental drift theory!
- If animals and fossils of the same species are found in various locations, it is possible that the continents were once linked, but from time to time moving apart, which is why we see the same fossils in different locations! This is a fantastic discovery!
- But my theory is true! you have to believe me!
- We can't accept your discovery Wegener! It lacks evidence, your discovery is absurd! WAHAHAHA
- Alfred Wegener then went to Greenland to find more evidence for his theory
- Six months later, on 12 May 1931, Kurt Wegener discovered his brother's grave (Alfred Wegener) halfway between Eismitte and West camp.
- Almost 50 years later Harry Hess confirmed Wegener's ideas by using the evidence of seafloor spreading to explain what moved continents. and to this day this theory is being taught to kids, Alfred Wegener didn't die in vain.
