that all the continents looked like they fit together.
"so that we were one a super continent "
but no one believed him . he needed prof . Alfred Wagner had 3 profs

Alfred Wegener is best known for proposing the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century. He suggested that the Earth's continents were once connected as one supercontinent called Pangaea and have since drifted apart. This theory laid the foundation for the modern theory of plate tectonics.
He was the first scientist to theorize about Plate Tectonics and Continental Drift.

What is the name given by wegner to the supercontinents he proposed existed before the curreny continents?
Alfred Wegner proposed the concept of a supercontinent called Pangaea, which he believed existed around 300 million years ago. Wegner suggested that Pangaea later split apart to form the continents that we see today.
What theory did Alfred wegner introduce?
Alfred Wegener introduced the theory of continental drift, which proposed that Earth's continents were once joined together as a single supercontinent called Pangea and have since moved to their current positions. This theory laid the foundation for the development of the modern theory of plate tectonics.
What year had Alfred Wegener discovered Pangaea?
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of Pangaea in 1912 based on his research on the fit of the continents, fossil evidence, and rock formations.
What was Alfred Wegner's theory and why was it rejected?
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that Earth's continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangea and have since drifted apart. His theory was rejected because he could not provide a plausible mechanism for how the continents could move across the ocean floor. It was not until the discovery of plate tectonics that Wegener's ideas were accepted and incorporated into the scientific understanding of Earth's geology.
Did Alfred Wegner provide evidence from land forms and climate in support of his theory of the shrinking Earth?
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, not a shrinking Earth theory. He used evidence such as the fit of the continents, matching rock formations, and fossil distribution to support his idea that the continents had once been part of a single landmass called Pangaea. Wegener's theory eventually led to the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
