Presentation
... The theory of plate tectonics was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1910. Wegener noticed that the shorelines of the continents seemed to ‘fit together’ like the pieces of a giant jig saw puzzle. Wegener’s theory stated: 1) The continents were once all together in one place forming a supercontinen ...
