Continental Drift‚ why True? Continental drift is the process of large mass of land and rocks unceasingly moving for a long period of time‚ which can be explained by what is called "Plate Tectonics". Due to the fact that continental drift is a theory‚ there is evidence and other sets of statements to back it up. According to Wegener‚ a geologist stated that segments of the Earth has made continental drift true (possible) whilst other pieces of information supported that continental drift has happened

CONTINENTAL DRIFT THEORY In the early 20th century‚ German scientist Alfred Wegener published a book explaining his theory that the continental landmasses‚ far from being immovable‚ were drifting across the Earth. He called this movement continental drift. Wegener noticed that the coasts of western Africa and eastern South America looked like the edges of interlocking pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. He was not the first to notice this‚ but he was the first to formally present evidence suggesting

Who is the scientist who did much of the early work on continental drift? In the early 20th century‚ German scientist Alfred Wegener published a book explaining his theory that the continental landmasses‚ far from being immovable‚ were drifting across the Earth. What evidence did this scientist have to support his idea of continental drift? Wegener noticed that the continents seemed to fit together‚ not at the continuously changing shoreline‚ but at the edge to their continental shelves.

2011 Running head: Wegener and the Theory of Continental Drift Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) was a German scientist in the fields of meteorology‚ astronomy‚ and geology. He was one of the first scientists to theorize about the continental drift or continents in motion‚ which supports the belief that the Earth’s continents once were a single land mass. Wegener called this land mass‚ "Pangaea"‚ because the continents began to break up‚ and various parts drifted away from one another. According

Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics Theory (Part 1a) Introduction: The Beginning of the “Continental Drift Theory” In the middle of the eighteenth century‚ James Hutton proposed a theory‚ uniformitarianism; “the present is the key to the past”. It held that processes such as geologic forces- gradual and catastrophic-occurring in the present were the same that operated in the past. (Matt Rosenberg‚ 2004) This theory coincides with the theory of Continental Drift that was first proposed by Abraham

BACKGROUND Continental drift is a theory proposed by a scientist‚ Alfred Wegener in the twentieth century. The theory explained that all the continents was once joined as one‚ and through the course of millions of years‚ drifted apart from each other to form separate continents as we see it now. THEORY Before all the continents were separated‚ they existed as one supercontinent‚ Pangaea (Lovett‚ 2008)‚ surrounded by a super ocean‚ known as Panthalassa. Movement of continents can be compared to
