That the continents move relative to each other, slowly drifting towards each other and forming together into super-continents.
He thought that all the continents were one supercontinent called Pangaea.
As we know, a great amount of Earth is composed of liquid. Wegenerâ??s Continental Drift theory had been a theory that claimed that layers of Earthâ??s crust slowly shift and drift atop liquid. After divisions had been created due to the movement of Earthâ??s plates, continents had been established. Wilsonâ??s theory had been based on some of the same basic concepts that Wegenerâ??s theory had been based on; however, Wilson also claimed that plates may move over other layers, as opposed to layers only moving away from or closer to other layers, which had also provided support for the cause of volcanic formations.
Its used to tell how the continents formed.

The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
The theory of continental drift did originate in the 1930s. Continental drift asserts that the continents were once a single landmass called Pangaea that drifted apart over time.
The main problem with Wegners theory of continental drift was that at the time he proposed it he had no real proof.
Alfred Wegner originally thought of the continental drift theory, but he wasn't believed when he presented it. After his death (of course) the theory was proved.
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
Plate tectonic theory was officially developed in 1912. It was developed by Alfred Wegener through his continental drift theory.

I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
He looked up on his Pangaea map, and figured out about the continental drift at the part of Africa, Antarctica, and Europe.
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
the Continental Drift Theory is the slow movement of the Earths continents. A.K.A the continents drift
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
Alfred Wegener's theory was known as the theory of continental drift.
earthquakes and volcanoes Do you know how to explain the theory of the continental drift?
Alfred Wegener Proved The theory of Continental Drift.
Alfred Wegener is the proponent or author of the Continental Drift Theory. lorzcute2000@yahoo.com
