Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift at the beginning of the 20th century. His idea was that the Earth's continents were once joined together, but gradually moved apart over millions of years. The idea was rejected at first as he was a Meteorologist and not regarded as a proper scientist.
Alfred Wegener came up with the theory continental drift
A German scientist by the name of Alfred Wegner. He proposed the theory, and the idea was revolutionary.
Alfred Wagner
Alfred Wegener
it was Wegener
they couldn't agree on how it separated or what made it separate.
scientists back then didn't want to belive that the earths plates could move on there own
Plate tectonics helps us to explain continental drift.
No, not until later was this theory proven and supplemented by the theory of plate tectonics.
Most people actually state that Darwin beat Wegener to the theory of continental drift as he mentioned in most of his studies about the continents drifting apart and fitting together.
Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912.
alfred wegner
The main problem with Wegners theory of continental drift was that at the time he proposed it he had no real proof.
earthquakes and volcanoes Do you know how to explain the theory of the continental drift?
Alfred Wegener
German scientist Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912, but it was not widely accepted until the 1950s.
The theory of continental drift and plate tectonics
How seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift is that wegener couldn't explain why and waht force caused the continents to move and so seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift because it shows the force that made the continents move and that was te only thing that wagener needed to prove his theory of continental drift............thanks
yes becouse wenger is not geologist and he could not explain the how continental drift theory
Alfred Wegener
the movement of the continent i :-)
