Alfred Wegner proposed the theory of 'continental drift'. He suggested that all the continents had originally been joined together as one landmass, after which they had seperated and slowly drifted along the ocean floors to their current locations.
Wegener investigated the apparent match of the Coastlines of South America and Africa. The evidence was supported by the rocks in the two continents. The mountains running accross South Africa apeared to match those in Argentine, and there were many types of rock found in the two locatinos.

What happened to Alfred Wegener?
he died a very tragic deathas people would not beileve his theorys about the earths crust moving over timeas he kept 'bangin' on about i they decided that they had had enough of it. so they gripped him and threw him over seas when they where out at sea fishing#and me[R] and my sister [N] would obviously know this coz we are hiS GREAT GREAT GREAT granKIDZ .!!! thankyooooou x

Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
