Answer:

Continental drift theory was proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. The theory deals with the distribution of the oceans and the continents. According to Wegener’s Continental Drift theory, all the continents were one single continental mass (called a Super Continent) – Pangaea and a Mega Ocean surrounded this supercontinent.

The evidence which gave rise to the theory of continental drift -- more correctly called plate tectonics -- includes the following: ► The coasts of the continents surrounding the Atlantic ocean could, if the continents were moved closer, fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. ► Living animals in widely separated lands are similar.

Answer:

Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics.
