Continental drift is the theory proposed by the German meteorologist and geophysicist Alfred Wegener in 1912, which states that the continents were once united into a single supercontinent called Pangaea and gradually drifted apart to occupy their present positions. According to Wegener, around 300 million years ago, Pangaea was surrounded by a vast ocean known as Panthalassa. Later, Pangaea split into two major landmasses: Laurasia in the north and Gondwanaland in the south. These further fragmented and slowly moved across the Earth's surface, giving rise to the present continents. Wegener suggested that continents consisted of lighter sialic material floating over denser sima, allowing them to move.
