The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.

The theory of continental drift did originate in the 1930s. Continental drift asserts that the continents were once a single landmass called Pangaea that drifted apart over time.

Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist and geophysicist, presented the theory of continental drift in 1912. His theory was later supported by evidence from paleontology, geology, and geophysics, leading to the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
