What did Alexander du Toit have to do with plate tectonics?

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.
