Wegener's hypothesis was that all the continents were once joined together in a single landmass and have since drifted apart. Wegener's idea that the continents slowly moved over Earth's surface became known as continental drift. His evidence included the fit of the continents (like puzzle pieces), glacial till deposits, and the apparent shifting of climatic belts during the passage of time. Glacial deposits and grooved bedrock in the southern part of South America, Africa, India and Australia suggested that these areas were once connected and and covered by glaciers.

Being a climatologist, Wegener's is associating convection in fluids as it moves; it affects the weather and climate. Therefore, he come up with his hypothesis was that all the continents were once joined together in a single landmass and have drifted apart as the continents slowly moved over Earth's surface and became known as continental drift.

relative dating involves things like higher layers are most recent than rocks lower in the sequence. this can be extended to the known sequence of fossils. rocks containing rabbit fossils are later than those containing dinosaur fossils.

absolute dating methods mainly use radioactive elements that have known rates of decay and produce recognizable products. for example potassium 40 decays to produce argon. once a rock has solidified the argon is trapped. by measuring the argon and potassium0 you can get an accurate number for the age.

some other methods are good for archaeological ages. dendrochronology involves recognizing the sequence of tree rings. the orientation of magnetized particles in baked clay can be used to date a fire.
