Question

describe the theory of continental drifting​

Answer 1

Answer:

Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents.

Answer 2

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. The speculation that continents might have drifted was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596.
