#TodayInHistory German meterologist, geophysicist, Alfred Wegener comes up with his landmark theory of Continental Drift in 1912, where he suggests that all the continents drifted away from one big super continent, gradually.

Watch Continental Drift from Pangea to Today.
About 300 million years ago, Earth didn't have seven continents, but instead one massive supercontinent called Pangaea, which was surrounded by a single ocean called Panthalassa.
