ALFRED WEGENER was a German polar reasearcher, geophysicist, and also meteorologist

states the movement of tectonic plates,which drift apart from the land which sits on top,is the cause for this shift, when the land spread apart, it formed individual smaller landmasses known as continents.Continental drift are caused by the spreading seafloor

The Western coast of Africa fits in with the Eastern coast of South America.

The coastlines of the continents appear to fit together like pieces of a puzzle. The Mesosaurus found on the eastern coast of south America and western coast of Africa

Identical fossils have been found in the rocks on either side of the ocean. The mountain ranges in the Northern United States and the mountain ranges in Northern Europe match up perfectly they have the same type of rock and the same age of rock

Glaciers found in cold parts of the earth. They leave evidence in the form of scratches that are called glacial striations

Coal has been found in cold regions and glacial evidence has been found in warm regions

The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other.
