Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane by Alfred Wegener
QR code
"Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane" by Alfred Wegener is a scientific work first published in 1915. It presents the theory now known as continental drift, proposing that continents slowly move across Earth's surface. Wegener explains how oceans and landforms developed through this drift, suggesting that mountain ranges form from colliding continents—a revolutionary idea that challenged the prevailing belief that mountains resulted from ancient folding of Earth's crust. This work laid the
groundwork for modern plate tectonics theory. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
