    Finally, Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift was accepted. According to Henry Frankel, geologists, palaeoclimatologists and biogeographers used the idea of continental drift to explain the similar way tallrik tectonics act. The tallrik tectonics theory has yet to be dismissed as supporting bevis is more abundant, unlike when Wegener was structuring his theory. Modified from Henry Frankel, “From Continental Drift to Plate Tectonics.”

    A look at the people involved in the adoption of plate tectonics as a viable theory from Alfred Wegener to J. Tuzo Wilson

    How did we get to our understanding of modern plate tectonics?

    Although Wegener is credited with proposing the idea of continental drift it is important to note that other scientists had similar ideas, some long before Wegener was even born...Abraham Ortelius believed the continents had drifted as far back as the late 1500's; Alfred Wallace (1800's) studied biology and explained the biological differences between two geographical regions were caused by the movement of the continents (later called Wallace's line); Robert Mantovani (late 1800's) also proposed the idea that continents had moved over time (although he believed it was due to an expanding Earth; Frank Taylor actually proposed the idea of continental creep to the Geological Society
