The theory of Pangaea was proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. He suggested that the continents were once joined together before breaking apart and drifting to their current positions.
The theory is called continental drift, proposed by Alfred Wegener. It suggests that continents were once part of a supercontinent called Pangaea and have since drifted to their current positions. This theory is supported by evidence such as matching coastlines and similar geological features on different continents.
The theory of Pangaea was originated by Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist, and geophysicist in the early 20th century. He proposed that the continents were once connected in a supercontinent that he named Pangaea, which later broke apart and drifted to their current positions.
Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912, in which he suggested that the continents had once been joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. While his ideas were not widely accepted during his lifetime, they later formed the basis for the theory of plate tectonics.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century. He observed that the continents appeared to fit together like puzzle pieces, particularly along their coastlines. Additionally, he noted similarities in rock types, fossils, and ancient climate patterns across different continents. This led Wegener to suggest that the continents were once joined together in a single supercontinent, which he called Pangaea.
the arguments of Wagner's theory was there was no explanation of how the continents drifted apart.
how were the continents formed

Alfred Wegener
Wegener's theory of continental drift proved the theory of Pangea (all continents as one land mass).
Wegener's theory was that all continents were once connected and are slowly drifting around.
one clue that support wegener's theory is the fact that similar rock _______ line up accross today's continents.
Alfred Wegener's famous theory was that all of the continents joined together to form one large super-continent; Pangea.
The major issue in that regard was that Wegener did not have a plausible mechanism by which continents might move.
Wegener failed to specify a possible method by which continents could move around. Most people would not accept his theory because they thought the continents would be ploughing through solid rock.
he had no proof how the continents drifted or what made them drift
