Animated Life: Pangea, Wegener, and Continental Drift - HHMI BioInteractive Video

This animated short tells the story of Alfred Wegener, a German astronomer and atmospheric scientist, who came up with the idea that continents once formed a single landmass and had drifted apart. Continental drift explained why continents' shapes fit together like pieces of a puzzle and why distant continents had the same fossils . During Wegener’s time, the idea was met with hostility but after his death a large body of evidence showed that continents do indeed move. Today the theory of plate tectonics is a fundamental principle in geology.

A whimsical and refreshing approach to explaining Alfred Wegener's impact on our understanding of how continents move. This presentation goes onto explain Wegener's ability to persevere (cold, hunger,danger, loneliness) so that he could positively contribute to science. What a man, what an adventure!

Question 5 - How did plant and animal fossil record help support Alfred Wegener’s continental drift idea?
Question 6 - What was wrong with Alfred’s idea?
Question 7 - What was right about Alfred’s idea?
