➠ AnSwer :-

  • Wegener suggested that perhaps the rotation of the Earth caused the continents to shift towards and apart from each other.
  • (It doesn't.) Today, we know that the continents rest on massive slabs of rock called tectonic plates.
  • The plates are always moving and interacting in a process called plate tectonics
  • 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.
