Wegener, Alfred
Wegener, Alfred (1880–1930) A German meteorologist and physicist, Wegener is best known for his version of the theory of
continental drift.
Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane, published in 1915 (first English language, edition:
The Origin of Continents and Oceans, 1924). He used a wide range of arguments to support his hypothesis, including palaeontological and palaeoclimatic evidence, the
hypsometric curve, seismic evidence,
polar wandering, and the differences between
continental and
oceanic crust. He found little contemporary support, but has since become regarded as the first to propose the hypothesis in well-argued, scientific terms.
