Explain who proposed the continental drift theory?

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.


Why could wegener be called an interdisciplinary scientist identify the fields of science of which he was knowledgeable?

Alfred Wegener could be called an interdisciplinary scientist because he made significant contributions across various fields, including geology, meteorology, and astronomy. His groundbreaking theory of continental drift combined knowledge of earth sciences and atmospheric dynamics, while his work in polar research and climatology underscored his understanding of meteorological patterns. Additionally, Wegener's interest in paleontology and his studies of fossil distributions demonstrated his ability to integrate insights from multiple scientific disciplines.


Who was the first scientist who first came up with concept of continental drift?

Alfred Wegner was the first person to come up with continental drift
