Answer:

Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents.

Continental Drift is the theory that all the continents of the world were once connected as one super-continent, called Pangea. The theory is that over time, the continents broke apart and became different continents, as we know it today.
