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.
