No, Alfred Wegener was a German meteorologist and geophysicist, not a biologist. He is most known for his theory of continental drift, proposing that Earth's continents were once joined together in a single landmass known as Pangaea and have since drifted apart.
The theory that all continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea and have since drifted apart is known as the theory of continental drift. This theory was proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century and later developed into the theory of plate tectonics.

Continental Drift is the name of a theory, developed by German meteorologist and geologist Alfred Wegener (1880-1930), asserting that parts of the earth's crust are slowly drifting on top of a liquid core. Wegener hypothesized that 200 million years ago, the earth was comprised of one great supercontinent, containing all of earth's land masses. He called the supercontinent "Pangaea," which means "all the land" in Greek. According to Wegener, Pangaea broke apart during the period bounded by the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, to the point where the super land mass was finally separated into the distinct land masses we now recognize as modern-day continents. Wegener's theory of continental drift is published in his 1915 work entitled, "On the Origin of the Continents and Oceans."
Anaphase is the phase when the individual chromosomes move apart to opposite ends of the cell.
They were joined together, then drifted apart to their current positions
The supercontinent that broke apart into the seven continents found on Earth today is called Pangaea. This breakup occurred over millions of years through the process of plate tectonics, resulting in the continents drifting apart to their current positions on the planet.
Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that Pangaea, a supercontinent, gradually broke apart over millions of years due to the movement of tectonic plates. He believed that the continents drifted to their current positions.
The theory of Pangaea was proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. He suggested that the continents were once joined together before breaking apart and drifting to their current positions.
The theory of Pangea was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. He suggested that Earth's continents were once joined together in a single landmass and later drifted apart to their current positions.
This theory was first predicted by German geologist, Alfred Wegener in 1915.

Alfred Wegener called his theory of moving continents "continental drift." He proposed that Earth's continents were once joined together in a single supercontinent called Pangea, which later broke apart and drifted to their current positions.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that the continents were once part of a supercontinent called Pangaea that broke apart and drifted to their current positions due to the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates. He suggested that the continents "plowed" through the oceanic crust as they moved.
Alfred Wegener named the supercontinent Pangaea because it means "all lands" in Greek. He believed that all continents were once connected as one giant landmass before breaking apart and moving to their current positions.
