Question

what type of evidence did wegener not use to support his theory of continental drift? geological formations climate evidence magnetic stripes fossil evidence

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Alfred Wegener used geological formations (matching mountain ranges), climate evidence (glacial deposits in warm areas), and fossil evidence (similar fossils on different continents) to support continental drift. Magnetic stripes were discovered later (in the mid - 20th century) through ocean floor studies related to plate tectonics, which was a later development beyond Wegener's time (early 20th century).

Answer:

Magnetic stripes
