When he saw that the plates could fit.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of Continental Drift in 1912.
he had evidence from the mountain range that were there. and that the same fossils were found in the different continents.
Alfred Wegener faced criticism because his theory of continental drift lacked a convincing mechanism to explain how continents moved. The scientific community at the time rejected Wegener's ideas because he couldn't provide a satisfactory explanation for what caused the continents to drift. It wasn't until the theory of plate tectonics was developed in the 1960s that Wegener's ideas gained widespread acceptance.
The idea known as "Continental Drift."
The theory of Pangaea was proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. Wegener suggested that the continents were once connected in a supercontinent known as Pangaea and have since drifted apart.
Alfred Wegner was the first person to come up with continental drift
Continental drift
One reason the scientific community doubted him was because he wasn't able to come up with an explanation for how the continents were moving, & where the force to move them was coming from.
Alfred Wegener came up with the idea of Pangaea by observing the fit of South America and Africa's coastlines, as well as similarities in rock formations and fossils on different continents. He proposed the theory of continental drift to explain how the Earth's landmasses were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea before drifting apart over time.
the movement of the continent i :-)
The theory that continents were once part of a supercontinent and have drifted apart over time was first proposed by German meteorologist Alfred Wegener in 1912. He introduced the concept of "continental drift," suggesting that continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea. Wegener's ideas laid the groundwork for modern plate tectonics, although they were initially met with skepticism. His work gained recognition as evidence for continental movement accumulated in subsequent decades.
A bureaucratic drift is a kind of theory that tells about the tendency of bureaucratic agencies to create new policy that comes from the original mandate. It produced legislation that come from elected officials.
