'''Continental drift''' is the process whereby [[Earth]]'s continents move around the globe very slowly, first discovered by Alfred Wegener in the 1930s. It had long been noticed that some continents seem to fit together like a jigsaw, especially the west coast of Europe and Africa and the east coasts of the Americas, but it was Wegener who first proposed the idea that continents actually move.
