What does the hypothesis of Continental Drift state?
200 million years ago, the continents were joined as one and they have remained that way.
200 million years ago, the continents were joined as one and they have slowly moved to their current locations.
What evidence was used to support Continental Drift?
Continents fitting together like a puzzle
Fossils of Ferns on Antarctica
Similar mountain ranges on different continents
All of the above
Why did no one believe Wegener's hypothesis of Continental Drift?
He could not explain HOW the continents moved.
His data was incorrect.
He did not use the right technology to gather data
In the Atlantic Ocean where is the youngest seafloor located?

How do scientists figure out the age of the seafloor?
They research it from ancient sea maps that trading vessels used in the 1700s.
They use seismographs, the depth, and the locations of earthquakes to calculate the age.
They look at differences in magnetic polarity of the seafloor to determine the age.
They take drill ships to many locations in the oceans and collect and date the rock samples.
