CONTINENTAL DRIFT: ABRAHAM ORTELIUS a Duchy map maker 1596 first proposed the possibility of joining the continents such as America with Europe and Africa ANTONIO PELLEGRINI drew the map showing the three continents together.
ALFRED WEGENER a German meteorologist put forth THE CONTINENTAL DRIFT THEORY. According to him,
All continents formed a single continental mass called PANGAEA
All oceans formed a single universal ocean called PANTHALASSA
