Plate Tectonics: The Scientist Behind the Theory (video clip)
**__Continental Puzzle__** Wegener believed that all continents were once connected in one large landmass called Pangaea. When looking at maps he noticed that the edges of the continents fit together like puzzle pieces showing that they were once together. Take a look at the picture to the right and see how North America, South America, and Africa fit together. When the continents broke apart, they “drifted” to their present locations. Watch the video below to see how the continents moved over time.
