Alfred Wegener
continental drift
Alfred Wegener discovered the continents seemed to fit together (Pangaea) in 1915.
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.
