Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) was a German geologist from the early 20th century, who theorized that continental land masses moved on the Earth's crust (Continental Drift), because in the past some of the now-separated lands were at one time joined together. Geologically and biologically, they shared the same past location.
he was the first to discovered the continental drift.
Alfred Wegener theorize that all the continents were once joined together in a single landmass and have since drifted apart.
