Alfred Wegener
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
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 of seafloor spreading was proposed by Harry Hess, a geologist and Navy officer, in the early 1960s. He proposed that new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and then spreads outward. This theory helped to explain the mechanism behind continental drift and plate tectonics.
He is credited with coming up with the theory of continental drift.
Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift proposed that continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea, which gradually drifted apart over time. He suggested that the continents moved due to the process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's crust is divided into several large plates that float and move on the semi-fluid mantle beneath them. Wegener's theory was later supported and developed into the modern theory of plate tectonics.

Alfred Wegener is the person who came up with the theory of continental drift in the time around world war one.
Alfred wegener came up with the theory of continental drift, when all of the continents were together as one the landmass was called Pangea
Continental drift
J.T Wilson was the one who came up with the theory of plate tectonics. Harry Hess came up with the theory of sea-floor spreading. Alfred Wegener came up with the theory of continental drift and Arthur Holmes proposed a suitable mechanism for this to occur (mantle convection).
Alfred Lothar Wegener proposed his theory of continental drift in 1912.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of Continental Drift in 1912.
