Alfred Wegener proposed it. He noticed similarities in fossils in places like Western Africa and Eastern South America. Then, he noted that those two continents could fit together, like puzzle pieces. He proposed that they used to be joined, and although his theory was not taken seriously at first, we now know he was correct.
The main problem with Wegners theory of continental drift was that at the time he proposed it he had no real proof.
A German scientist Alfred Wegener first proposed the idea of Continental Drift.
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.
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.

German scientist Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912, but it was not widely accepted until the 1950s.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of Continental Drift in 1912.
The theory of continental drift and plate tectonics
Alfred Wegener
Wegener proposed the theory of Pangea (the supercontinent) and continental drift. Continental drift is what split Pangea apart.
A German scientist Alfred Wegener first proposed the idea of Continental Drift.
The idea of continental drift was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. Wegener's theory suggested that the continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea and had drifted apart over time.
Supercontinent was first proposed in 1912 by the German meteorologist Alfred Wegener as a part of his theory of continental drift.
Alfred Wegener
Alfred Wegener introduced the theory of continental drift, which proposed that Earth's continents were once joined together as a single supercontinent called Pangea and have since moved to their current positions. This theory laid the foundation for the development of the modern theory of plate tectonics.
