Alfred Wegener: Uncovering Plate Tectonics

Viac o knihe

Alfred Wegener, an accomplished astronomer and meteorologist, is renowned for his groundbreaking theories on continental drift and plate tectonics, proposing that Earth's continents were once joined. His observations of the continents fitting together like a puzzle laid the foundation for understanding geological changes, including volcanic activity. Despite initial rejection of his ideas, they gained acceptance posthumously and are now fundamental to the scientific explanation of Earth's dynamic processes.
