2020年4月29日 · Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century. He noticed that the continents appeared to fit together and were once attached in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Wegener provided evidence from matching coastlines, fossil and rock formations, and paleoclimatic data to support his theory.

5 Support for Continental Drift Wegener was not the only one to notice the fit of the continents. 1858: Antonio Pelligrini depicted Africa and South America connected. He was one of the first...

2019年12月18日 · Pangaea Wegener’s theory of continental drift states that the existing continents of the earth were once glued together forming a super landmass. Over time, the landmass broke and drifted away and is still drifting to this day. In his proposal, he stated that the super content, which he named Pangaea, meaning ‘’all earth” once existed ...

2011年5月7日 · According to the continental drift hypothesis, the continents have slowly moved over time to their current positions. Alfred Wegener first proposed this theory in 1912. Seafloor spreading provided insight into the mechanism of plate tectonics, with magma pushing the plates apart at mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones pulling them under.

The document discusses Alfred Wegener's Continental Drift Theory. It proposes that approximately 200 million years ago, all the continents were joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea. Wegener hypothesized that the continents have since slowly moved to their current locations.
