jan 1, 1912 - Alfred Wegener

Description:

Alfred Wegener found a lot of evidence for continental drift, and Pangea. Wegener noted that glacial, tropical rain forests, deserts, and mountains were aligned with the continents. Wegener found evidence for his theory of continental drift as well. Wegener's hypothesis was that the Ocean Floor moved via the Earth's spin, tidal forces, and the wobble of the Earth's axis.
