Continental Drift
continental drift - a hypothesis proposed in 1912 by German meteorologist,
Alfred Wegener

Continental Drift Theory
Evidence:Puzzle-like fit of continentsIdentical fossils & rock structure on various
continentsGlacial deposits in present-day tropical climatesCoal deposits in present-day temperate climates

Wegener’s idea was rejected in early 1900’s –
because he could not answer:
“What caused the continents to move?”
“How, when, or why did continents move?”

Sea Floor Spreading
1947 – rocks on ocean floor found to be younger than continental rocks
1960 – Princeton U. – Harry Hess – proposed theory of Seafloor Spreading – if seafloor is moving, continents may also be moving
mid-1960’s – paleomagnetic reversal time scale developed for continental rock matches that of rocks found on sea floor
