                         Second half of his life

                         His theory and proof:

                                                     Proof of the continental drift.

            



       




Was son of a protestant shepherd (Richard Wegegener.). His father was theologian and teacher in a highschool.
He was graduated in Köllnische us the best of his class. He was the metheorologian and Geophysicist that pruposed the theory of the continental drift for this reason he was called the father of the plate tectonics. He also study astronomy in the university of Berlin an in 1924 he accepted the cathedra of meteorology in the university of Graz ,Austria. His older brother Kurt also was scientific.
kurt Wegener.
In his first trip to Groenlandia, Alfred built the first Weather Station here. 
Afther his back, in 1908, he exert as teacher of meteorology ,astronomy and physics in Marburgo.

He was married with Else Köppen ,the daughter of his exprofessor and mentor , Wladimir Köppen, and they moved together to Marburgo.
Alfred wegener fought in the first total war as reserve officer infantry, where he was qualified as unfit to fight on the front and was assigned the meteorological service of Army.

THE THEORY OF THE CONTINENTAL DRIFT:
The continental drift is the displacement of the continental mass relative to each other. But he can´t explain it properly until the 60´s when was developing the plate tectonics. 
The theory of wegener was based in the way that fit the continents on it´s side of the atlantic ocean, Africa and South America.
also took in to account the similarity of fossil fauna of the septentrials continents. In summary Wegener said that the set of actuals continents were jointed in the past, form an suppercontinent called Pangea, that means ¨All the Earth.¨
PROOFS OF THE CONTINENTAL DRIFT:
vertical
Afred Wegener met a set of proof that explain that the continents were in continuous movement.
He observed a great similarity in the shape of the cost of the continents , for this , if the continents were ever jointed is logical that they fit.
Geographic proof:
vertical
Geologic Proof:
Discovered that exist tipes of rocks with the same ages and of the same class in differents continents.
vertical
Paleoclimatic Proof:
Used sedimentary rocks as indication of climate, draw a picture with this climate said that her distribution, it result inexplicable if the continents had remained in their present position,
vertical
Paleontologic Proof:
He founded in different continents fossils of the same class, and among this were same terrestrial organisms such as reptails, plants, etc...
