Tectonic plates- it relates to Alfred Wagener's theory of continental drift
Lack of evidence
yes he did he explained that the continents fit like a puzzle but the scientist did not believe him because he could not explain "how"

Tectonic plates- it relates to Alfred Wagener's theory of continental drift
Alfred Wagner proved the theory of Continental drift because he found fossils of the same animals and plants on different continents. he also found the same rock patterns on different continents.also if you look at a map of the world then you can fit some the continents together like a jigsaw
Alfred Lothar Wegener was a geophysicist and meteorologist. He was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1880 and died in Greenland in 1930. He is known for his advancement with the theory of continental drift in 1912.

Alfred Wegener was a scientist who proposed the theory of continental drift and the idea of isostasy. The idea of isostasy stated that continental blocks drifted upon oceanic blocks (continental blocks had a lower density than oceanic blocks, which explained why it was higher than oceanic blocks).
Because when he was little he knew the continental drift was a part of the world and once was together like a puzzle :D
It was Alfred Wegener but other scientists did not believe him but he found evidence
Alfred Wegener
Alfred Wegener did not have the "HOW" factor- because of no evidence on the process, they could not believe his theory.
Alfred Wegener grew up in a wealthy family in Berlin, Germany, where he developed a passion for science and nature. He spent much of his childhood exploring the outdoors and dreaming of becoming a polar explorer. Wegener's early experiences and education later influenced his groundbreaking work in the field of geology and continental drift theory.
Alfred Wegener's theory was known as the theory of continental drift.
