I think that continetal drift replaced his theory

Alfred Wegener.
Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory has subsequently been honed by scientific discoveries to the more all-inclusive plate tectonic theory which is generally accepted by earth scientists.
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.
Alfred wegener came up with the theory of continental drift, when all of the continents were together as one the landmass was called Pangea
Harry Hess came up with the theory of seafloor spreading . Alfred Wegener came up with the idea of continental drift NOT sea-floor spreading.

Alfred Wegener is the person who came up with the theory of continental drift in the time around world war one.
The theory of continental drift was proposed by Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist and geophysicist, in the early 20th century. While Wegener did not prove continental drift definitively during his lifetime, his theory laid the foundation for the modern theory of plate tectonics. The definitive proof of plate tectonics came from advancements in seafloor mapping and paleomagnetism in the mid-20th century, which provided strong evidence for the movement of Earth's lithosphere.
Alfred Lothar Wegener proposed his theory of continental drift in 1912.
this is easy! I LEARNED IT IN SCIENCE! WERGNER DICOVERED IT. WEGNERS EARLIER THEORY OF CONTINENTAL DRIFT WAS REEXAMMINED AND A NEW THEORY WAS BORN ............................ THE THEORY OF PLATE TECTONICS
