Alfred Wegner thought the continents looked like puzzle pieces that were once connected, known as Pangaea. The continental drift theory is the continents split apart and drifted over the ocean’s crust, but there is debate on if it happened and how long it would have taken.    

• true

• false, continental drift is when continents move up and down

• false, the continents stayed together as one super continent while they drifted

• false, there is no debate everyone agrees it happened and know exactly how long ago it happened
