Did Alfred Wegner provide evidence from land forms and climate in support of his theory of the shrinking Earth?

Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, not a shrinking Earth theory. He used evidence such as the fit of the continents, matching rock formations, and fossil distribution to support his idea that the continents had once been part of a single landmass called Pangaea. Wegener's theory eventually led to the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
