The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
Continental drift is a concept relating to the movement of the Earth's continents. The proving of the continental drift theory came from evidence found around the world. Foremost, scientists had discovered that similar plants and animal fossils were found in or around different continents, suggesting that they were once joined. The theory of plate tectonics also supported continental drift. If one were to look at a global map, the complementary arrangements between South America and Africa can be easily seen.
The theory of continental drift did originate in the 1930s. Continental drift asserts that the continents were once a single landmass called Pangaea that drifted apart over time.
The main problem with Wegners theory of continental drift was that at the time he proposed it he had no real proof.

plate tectonics
Two things that supports the continental drift theory are; 1. Fossil. 2. Continent Shapes.
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,
the breaking down of pangea
There are fossils of animals that can only live in warm whether, that are all around the world, even on Antarctica
The continental drift theory and the plate tectonic theory
Continental drift is a hypothesis so there is no actual proof or evidence of it, but rather opinions and views suggesting the possibility of it.
He didn't. Evidence which points to continental drift was discovered later, after he died.
It supports the theory because it can be found on all of the continents.
