Continental Drift and how the continents shifted over time
Alexander du Toit was a geologist who proposed the theory of "continental drift" in the early 20th century. He suggested that the continents were once part of a single supercontinent called Pangaea and that they had drifted apart over time. His work laid the foundation for the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
The concept of Laurasia was proposed by Austrian geologist Eduard Suess in the late 19th century to describe the northern part of the supercontinent Pangaea. It was named after the geological region of Laurentia.
While two people proposed continental drift (Alfred Wegener and Alexander du Toit), it was just ONE scientist Harry Hess that proposed the mechanism of sea floor spreading to explain how the continents actually moved.
