Did you mean Plate Tectonics Theory?
- Plate Tectonics Theory is the combination of Continental Drift and Ocean/Sea Floor Spreading.
BTW. The scientist who started it is Howard Baker continued by Alfred Wegener.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift at the beginning of the 20th century. His idea was that the Earth's continents were once joined together, but gradually moved apart over millions of years. The idea was rejected at first as he was a Meteorologist and not regarded as a proper scientist.
The name of the theory is the (continental drift !!)by: Amber Andersongrade 8teacher: ms. Pawlishenspringfield,MAno a German meteroligist
The theory of the movement of peices of Earth's surface is that they break apart and they move everywhere around through the suface -& and the layers of the earth. this is what causes it being cold because all these peices move around and then the warm will break away and it will open up abd it will be cold.
the scientist name is Konrad Lorenz
Hypothesis.
The scientist who proposed the theory of continental drift was Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist and geophysicist. He suggested that the continents were once joined together in a single supercontinent called Pangea and have since moved apart to their current positions.
Pangaea or Pangea was the super-continent in the continental drift hypothesis.
ice age: continental drift
The name of the floral fossils Wegner used for the idea of continental drift was glossopteris. Alfred Wegner used the continental drift as a way to explain the continental shapes.
Alfred Wegener's full name is "Alfred Lothar Wegener", and he is a German scientist who came up with the theory of Continental Drift.

Plate Tectonics.
Pangia
The theory of continental drift was introduced by German meteorologist Alfred Wegener in 1912. He proposed that the continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangea and have since drifted apart to their current positions.
The theory that the continents were once joined and then slowly drifted apart is called "continental drift." This theory was proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century and later developed into the theory of plate tectonics.
Alfred Wegener's support of continental drift was known as the theory of "continental drift," which proposed that the continents were once joined together as a single supercontinent called Pangaea and have since drifted apart.
