Did you mean Plate Tectonics Theory?
- Plate Tectonics Theory is the combination of Continental Drift and Ocean/Sea Floor Spreading.
BTW. The scientist who started it is Howard Baker continued by Alfred Wegener.
100% sure it is ALFRED WEGENER .
The First Scientist that had the theory of continental drift was Abraham Ortilius in 1596, Later proved by Alfred Wegener in 1912.
Alfred Wagner, but the idea was not accepted until much later

Alfred Wegener, a German Geologist
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.
The name of the theory is the (continental drift !!)by: Amber Andersongrade 8teacher: ms. Pawlishenspringfield,MAno a German meteroligist
The theory of the movement of peices of Earth's surface is that they break apart and they move everywhere around through the suface -& and the layers of the earth. this is what causes it being cold because all these peices move around and then the warm will break away and it will open up abd it will be cold.
the scientist name is Konrad Lorenz
Hypothesis.
Alfred Wegner came up with the idea of continental drift he was a German scientist and his last name is pronounced "vegner"
A scientist (can't remember his name) took pictures or models of the continents and put them together and they fit like a puzzle, so that's where continental drift came from,
Pangaea or Pangea was the super-continent in the continental drift hypothesis.
Alfred Wegener's full name is "Alfred Lothar Wegener", and he is a German scientist who came up with the theory of Continental Drift.
The Pangaea theory or the Expanding Earth theory posits that the Earth originally had one supercontinent that slowly divided. Pangaea is the name of the supercontinent.
ice age: continental drift
The name of the floral fossils Wegner used for the idea of continental drift was glossopteris. Alfred Wegner used the continental drift as a way to explain the continental shapes.
