2024年11月3日 · Alfred Lothar Wegener (1 November 1880 – 13 November 1930) was a German scientist and meteorologist. He is most notable for his theory of continental drift, which he proposed in December 1912. This was the idea that the continents were slowly drifting around the Earth. He also had ideas about why the continents drift, which other scientists ...

In 1912 the German meteorologist Alfred Wegener proposed that throughout most of geologic time there was only one continental mass, which he named Pangaea or “All-earth,” and one ocean, called Panthalassa or “All-sea.” His theory is known as the continental-drift theory.

2015年3月19日 · This animated short video celebrates the early 20th-century German astronomer and atmospheric scientist Alfred Wegener, who first proposed that continents once formed a single landmass and had drifted apart.

In the early twentieth century, German scientist Alfred Wegener and others observed something peculiar about Earth's continents: They seemed to fit together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. Consider the shapes of South America and Africa.

2023年11月8日 · About 100 years ago, a German scientist named Alfred Wegener made the observation that continents fit together. This led him to suggest a new idea that the continents were once part of a single piece of land called Pangea. It split apart millions of years ago and the continents moved to their present position.

This lesson explores the evidence of continental drift* presented by Alfred Wegener and provides students the opportunity to complete a continental drift* puzzle exercise. *Continental drift is the term that Wegener used in 1912; today we use the term plate tectonics .

A science-focused series of beautiful paper puppet videos by Flora Lichtman and Sharon Shattuck, “Animated Life” is presented by HHMI BioInteractive and The New York Times.

Alfred Wegener (November 1, 1880 to November 1930 exact date unknown) was a German meteorologist and polar explorer whose most widely remembered for first developing the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics.

In 1915, Alfred Wegener proposed that all of Earth's continents were once joined in an ancient supercontinent he called Pangaea. Wegener's idea of moving continents led to the modern theory of plate tectonics. Create your own version of Pangaea …
