Answer:

Continental Drift Hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alfred Lothar Wegener (1880-1930) was a German meteorologist and geophysicist who completed the first hypothesis about Continental Drift. He explained that the continents had onced formed a single mass, a single "continent" and then all began to break apart, until reach their presents positions.

So, according to Wegener's hypothesis, all the land on Earth was part of a single and unique mass, which was separated with the years.

Therefore, Alfred Wegener was best known for the Continental Drift Hypothesis.
