Answer:

The answer is Alfred Wegener presented his idea about plates.

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener proposed The Continental Drift Theory in 1912, which he formulated based on the way the plates of the continents seemed to fit on each side of the Atlantic Ocean, such as Africa and South America. It also took into account the distribution of certain geological formations and the fossil record of the northern continents, which stated that they could have shared floras and faunas in earlier geological times.
