Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane

Published in 1915, 'Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane' is Alfred Wegener's foundational work on the theory of continental drift. Despite initial rejection and subsequent obscurity after his death, Wegener's ideas gained recognition decades later as evidence mounted in their favor. Wegener, a German meteorologist and geoscientist, presented compelling arguments for the movement of continents, which have since become a cornerstone of modern geology.
