Alfred wegener, was a German climatologist, geologist, geophysicist, meteorologist, and polar researcher. During his lifetime he was primarily known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, but today he is most remembered as the originator of continental drift hypothesis by suggesting in 1912 that the continents are slowly drifting around the Earth

Continental drift theory

Continental drift is a fundamental concept in geology that explains the movement of Earth's continents over millions of years. This theory, initially proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century, has revolutionized our understanding of Earth's dynamic processes

The idea that continents might have "drifted" was first proposed by Abraham Ortelius in 1596 .However, it was Alfred Wegener who formally presented his hypothesis in 1912. Wegener, a German meteorologist,

Pangea, in early geologic time, a supercontinent that incorporated almost all the landmasses on Earth. Pangea was surrounded by a global ocean called Panthalassa, and it was fully assembled by the Early Permian Epoch (some 299 million to about 273 million years ago)

Geological “fit” evidence is the matching of large-scale geological features on different continents. It has been noted that the coastlines of South America and West Africa seem to match up, however more particularly the terrains of separate continents conform as well.The coastlines of continents, particularly South America and Africa, seemed to fit together like puzzle pieces

Identical fossils of ancient plants and animals, such as the reptile Mesosaurus, were found on continents now separated by vast oceans. This suggested that these continents were once connected.

Geological similarities: Matching rock formations and mountain ranges were found on continents that are now far apart . For example, the Appalachian Mountains of North America and the Caledonian Mountains of Scotland share geological similarities.
