Continental drift
Alfred Wegener's theory
laurie
Alfred's theory
• Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental
drift at the beginning of the 20th century. His idea
was that the Earth's continents were once
joined together, but gradually moved apart over
millions of years. It offered an explanation of
the existence of similar fossils and rocks on
continents that are far apart from each other.
But it took a long time for the idea to become
accepted by other scientists.
