Alfred Wegener, a German geophysicist, theorized in 1912 that the earth’s continents could fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, and that they are currently drifting apart at very slow rate. He concluded that there were significant similarities in the geological features of the continents on either side of the Atlantic Ocean; specifically in plant fossils.
