Traces the changing theories about continental drift due to the advances in seismology and experimental studies of the behavior of rocks under high pressure. Continental stability was the prevailing scientific view until the late 1960s, when geologists throughout the world became convinced that crustal plates, both continental and oceanic, have moved over many degrees of latitude and longitude since the Cretaceous period.

Alfred Lothar Wegener (1880-1930) was a German geophysicist and meteorologist. His research focused mainly on meteorology and polar research, however he is most remembered as the originator of the theory of continental drift, i.e. that the continents are slowly drifting around the Earth. His hypothesis was controversial and widely rejected by mainstream geology until the 1950s, when novel discoveries such as palaeomagnetism provided strong support for continental drift, which is the basis for today's model of plate tectonics. Third edition, originally published in 1924.
