Alfred Wegener publically promoted the theory as early as 1912. Although he was convinced it was correct, it did not gain wide acceptance until the 1960s. Today we have measurements of the rates and directions of drift of the various place established with highly accurate GPS observations.

Who found the continental drift?
Alfred Wegner originally thought of the continental drift theory, but he wasn't believed when he presented it. After his death (of course) the theory was proved.
When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
What scientist were responsible for the theory of contenental drift?
A German scientist Alfred Wegener first proposed the idea of Continental Drift.
A short paragraph about continental drift?
First of all continental drift happened after Pangea. Pangea was a time when all of the continents were formed together. Then platetectonics moved which caused earth quakes. The earth quakes made the continents drift, and is called continental drift. To learn more on continental drifts and plate tectonics visit http;//www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001765.html
Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?
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.

What is the very slow movement of the continents is called?
Continental Drift
Why do you think people didn't believe continental drift theory when Wagner first explain why?
because they believed god made the world as it is, and it was perfect.

Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912.
Why didn't people believe continental drift when Wagner first explained it?
Wegener had no answer to why the plates were moving and how they were moving but they believed Harry Hess when he discovered seafloor spreading
