EVIDENCE
• Ancient climates – Wegener also found evidence of similar
climates on different continents.
• Glacial till – deposits of glacial sediment on continents that are
now in tropical climates. Also, rocks scratched by glaciers.
• Evidence that North America had tropical swamps. We know that
North America does not have tropical swamps now.
