The concept of continental drift includes the concept that the continents were once one and they have drifted apart over years. The concept is backed up by the shapes of continents; and the finding of similar mineral formations on different continents.

I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
What technology supports continental drift?
Continental drift is explained by the science of plate tectonics.
How does seafloor spearing and continental drift link together?
Seafloor-spreading is the cause of continental drift
Describe the relationship of continental drift and plate tectonics?
The relationship of continental drift and plate tectonics is that the plate tectonics move and are under the ground and the continental drift is on the top of earth...
When did captain Robert Scott discover continental drift?
Captain Robert Scott did not discover Continental Drift. The concept of Continental Drift was proposed by Abraham Ortelius in 1596, a concept that was further developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912.

What was used to dispute continental drift?
Continental drift is a concept relating to the movement of the Earth's continents. The proving of the continental drift theory came from evidence found around the world. Foremost, scientists had discovered that similar plants and animal fossils were found in or around different continents, suggesting that they were once joined. The theory of plate tectonics also supported continental drift. If one were to look at a global map, the complementary arrangements between South America and Africa can be easily seen.
