Continental Drift Quiz

Continental Drift Quiz takes you back to the time when the world was a single landmass. In 1912, Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist, proposed that continents once fit together like pieces of a puzzle and later drifted apart. His idea, called the Continental Drift Theory, was initially dismissed by many scientists. Yet decades later, discoveries beneath the ocean floor proved him right and gave rise to the concept of plate tectonics. It’s fascinating how one bold idea reshaped our understanding of Earth’s history. This quiz revisits those turning points, connecting ancient supercontinents like Pangaea to the dynamic planet we know today.
