Answer

Continental drift was a theory made by scientist Alfred Wegener explaining that continents have shifted position on Earth's surface. The continents have “drifted” together and/or apart. Scientists confirmed some of Wegener's ideas decades later, and are now part of the theory of plate tectonics.
