Question

stamina day!!! (writing) * you are alfred wegener. the year is 1912. using what you learned by completing the activity dance of the continents, craft a compelling written argument in support of you theory of continental drift.

Explanation:

The task is to write as Alfred Wegener in 1912 to support the theory of continental drift. Key - points could include geological and paleontological evidence such as matching coastlines, similar fossils across separated continents.

Answer:

Dear colleagues,

I, Alfred Wegener, stand firm in my belief of the theory of continental drift. The evidence is compelling. Consider the remarkable fit of the African and South American coastlines, like pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle. This cannot be mere coincidence.

Furthermore, the presence of identical fossil species on continents now widely separated. How could these plants and animals have traversed vast oceans? The only logical explanation is that these continents were once joined and have since drifted apart.

Geological formations also support my theory. Similar rock structures are found on different continents, indicating a shared geological history when they were connected.

I urge you to consider these facts and give due consideration to the theory of continental drift. It is a revolutionary idea that will reshape our understanding of the Earth's geology.

Sincerely,
Alfred Wegener
