  1. You can find some useful information here:

  2. I don't believe you even got a chance to finish your question, what, in fact, is the "which intereste"????  Anyway, didn't they "find" rocks, and other things, like fossils, and direct evidence, like the "Icelandic" "thing", etc., etc., to actually "prove" that continents actually do drift.  But, in fact, I'm not so sure that Wegner actually "found" the "Icelandic thing", cause I feel it was "discovered" much later.  And anyway, I'm not so sure that this will "answer" your question, for I'm not yet sure that there is truly a question??????

  3. in the early 1900s two scientists, the American F.B. Taylor and the German Alfred Wegener, put forward a theory called Continental Drift.

    they pointed out similarities between the shapes of the continents on opposite sides of the Atlantic and suggested that North America had once been joined to Europe and South America to Africa. but somehow they had broken apart and drifted to their present positions.

    similar rocks, rock structures and fossils were found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. one fossil plant, called glossopteris flourished in the Carboniferous and Permian periods.

    fossils of this plant were found in India and in all southern continents. but glossopteris had heavy seeds which winds could not have blown far. how then did this plant spread around these widely separated areas?

  4. I give up, what are they
