Answer:
Explanation:
Wegener contributed 4 tests to formulate his theory of continental drift:
* Geographical: Wegener suspected that the continents in the past they could have been united by observing a great coincidence in the form of the coasts of all of them, especially between South America and Africa.
Which means that if in the past these continents would have been united forming one alone (Pangea) it is logical that the fragments fit.
* Paleontological: these are among the most evidence important to demonstrate the above, that is, in the past the continents of Africa and South America they were united; or what is the same, fossils coincided on both sides of the Atlantic.
This test shows that the continents were gathered at some past time.
* Geological and tectonic: if the continents join in one can only observe that the types of rocks, their chronology and mountain ranges would have physical continuity, that is to say they would form a belt almost continuous.
* Paleoclimatic: according to Wegener these were the most important tests for him. The scientist discovered that there were areas on Earth whose current climates did not match those they had in the past.
