Alfred Wegener was a german scientist who developed the theory of Continental drift. He believed all the continents were one land mass. He called this super continent “Pangea”. Wegener used evidence from three sources to support his theory.
First, was fossil evidence from reptiles and plants. “Cynognathus” was a reptile that had fossils found on South Africa, and Africa. This is only possible because of continental drift, the animal couldn't have swam across a whole ocean. The next reptile is the “Lystrosaurus”, it’s fossils were found on Africa, India, and Antarctica. These continents today are very far apart and even then how would they adapt at the same time. The next piece of evidence is a plant called “Fern Glossopteris”. This plant’s
