Question

Explain the geological evidence of Continental Drift Theory.

Answer 1

The geologic proof of the Continental Drift Theory presented by Wegener is: 

1. Structural similarities 

2. Strati graphical similarities

1. Structural similarities: In the shell structure of the coastal areas on either side of the Atlantic Ocean, there is a similarity in the structure that both these seas were once adjacent to each other. 

2. Strati graphical similarities: The similarity found in the order of the different layers of rocks on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean is the evidence of their close proximity.
