Continental Drift, in 1912. In 1915, Wegener published ,The Origin of Continents and Oceans (Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane), Wegener wrote the theory that there had once been a "super" continent, he named "Urkontinent"German word meaning "origin of the continents". Which goes hand in hand with his earlier hypothesis of continental drift, which after extensive research on rock types & fossils on either side of the Atlantic ocean, the similarity was shocking
