Alfred Wegener in 1912 proposed the theory of continental drift. He provided a wide array of evidence to support his claims.

• His idea was not accepted by the scientific community of his days.
• There was no mechanism available and known to account for the moving plates.
• Late on through the years, the idea of mantle convection came into lime light around 1930.
• By 1960, the theory sea floor spreading was already established.
• This lead to the advent of the theory of plate tectonics.
• In the end, the theory of Continental drift became less far fetched and better understood.
