The Theory of Continental Drift: Alfred Wegener and Pangaea
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that the continents were once part of a single landmass called Pangaea. Evidence such as fossils and rock formations on different continents supports this theory. The concept of plate tectonics further explains the movement of continents over time, shaping Earth's landscapes.

Continental Drift: Alfred Wegener http://www.sciencechannel.com/tv-shows/greatest- discoveries/videos/100-greatest-discoveries-continental-drift.htm
Restless Continents-pg. 248 Wegener proposed idea of continental drift. -Continents once formed a single land mass known as Pangaea -This land mass broke apart -Land masses (continents) are still drifting today
Evidence to Support Continental Drift 1. Fossils of same plants and animals are found on different continents 2. Rock and ancient climate conditions were found on several continents
