The Theory of Continental Drift and Wegener's Evidence Explained

The Theory of Continental Drift proposes that continents were once part of a single landmass known as Pangaea, which eventually broke apart and drifted to their current positions. Alfred Wegener provided evidence supporting this theory, including the fit of continents like puzzle pieces, fossil simi
