Wegener's explanation for continental drift,

Although modern scientists continue to reject Wegener's explanation for continental drift, the theory of drifting continents has gained wide acceptance in the scientific community.  Continental drift is the hypothesis that the Earth's continents have moved over geologic time relative to each other, thus appearing to have "drifted" across the ocean bed. Discoveries in the 1950s provided evidence for paleomagnetism, suggesting that continents do move.   The speculation that continents might have 'drifted' was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596. The concept was independently and more fully developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912, but his hypothesis was... Wikipedia The modern theories of plate tectonics and continental drift argue that large plates carry continents and the ocean floor, and that these plates move. Continental drift, large-scale horizontal movements of continents relative to one another and to the ocean basins during one or more episodes of

Convection Current Theory (CCT)

  Convection Current Theory (CCT) It was first suggested by a German meteorologist,   Alfred Wegener   in 1912. Body. According to the   theory  , all the   continents   formed a single  Wegener was drawn to this idea because of the puzzling questions he had in his mind. How could tropical ferns have grown in London, Paris, Bonn and even in Greenland? Why are the coal belts found in extremely cold regions of tundra? How are glacial pieces of evidence found in tropical regions of Brazil, Indian peninsula, Australia and Congo basin? Evidence that supports the theory The Matching of Continents (Jig-Saw-Fit):  The shorelines of Africa and South America facing each other match remarkably. Rocks of Same Age Across the Oceans:  radiometric dating methods have correlated the rock formation in different continents. Tillite:  The glacial tillite found in Gondwana system of sediments has its resemblance to six different landmasses of the Southern Hemisphere. Counterparts of this succession are fo
