I find the topic of continental drift, now known as plate tectonics very interesting and an important scientific discovery for the history of the world. The man who discovered this, and produced most of the relevant information about the subject was Alfred Wegener. He discovered many interesting things about the world and eventually proposed his theory of Pangaea. Pangaea was not believed by many people since they didn’t believe it possible for the continents to move. This wasn’t actually true that they moved, but at the time that was what Alfred Wegener believed. I find that the information about where certain rock beds and fossils are found is very interesting. It is very good evidence to find similar and even the same things on separate continents for the moving of the continents. Eventually plates are discovered and the theory is made possible. Another fact that helps support Wegener not listed in this article that I find interesting it the movement of hotspots that create volcanoes. Evidence of this is the Hawaiian Islands
