"Continental drift" refers to the movement of continents over the Earth's surface due to the shifting of tectonic plates. This concept, proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century, led to the development of the theory of plate tectonics, which explains various geological phenomena such as earthquakes and mountain building.
