Wegener (nov 1, 1880 – nov 1, 1930)

Description:

German geophysicist, meteorologist; was the one who proposed the theory of "continental drift" (Earth's landmasses shifted positions over time), but couldn't provide any reason as to how this happened, so his theory (at the time) was widely unaccepted.
