2. Fossil Evidence2. Fossil Evidence• Wegener used fossil evidence from a
fossil of a fern called Glossopteris.• Fern seed was too heavy to be carried by
the wind.• Oceans were too wide to allow the seed to
float across the waters.• Conclusion: When Glossopteris was alive,
the continents must have been connected.

Hypothesis RejectedHypothesis Rejected• Wegener proposed that the same forces of gravity that produced
tides moved the continents.
• Scientists rejected this hypothesis because they did not accept Wegener’s explanation of how the continents moved.
• New technology gathered additional evidence that supported the continental drift theory. (p.172)
