In the year 1911 a German meteorologist noticed that the contents looked like the fit in together. Wegner (Veg-ner) did some research regarding the subject. Wegners theory states that parts of the Earths crust slowly drift atop a liquid core. Landforms fossils and climates helped support his theory. There were two big flaws in Wegners theory; there was no feasible explanation for the cause of Continental drift because you can be on top of something liquid and not move and that there was no evidence that continents plowed through the ocean basin. No one believed Wegner's theory. 20 years later Wegner died and then after another 20 years we developed the technology and proved Wegners theory.
