•Alfred Wegner
•1915 Wegner published a book of drifting like a piece of cracked ice flow.
•Wegner thoughts and reasoning on continental drift
• Wegner concluded 200 million years drifted and they are in their current positions.
•Science and religious comment on continental drift theory
•World War II brought a change in continental drift ideas – instrumentation
