1: The speculation that continents might have 'drifted' was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596. The concept was independently and more fully developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912, but his hypothesis was rejected by many for lack of any motive mechanism. 2: The most obvious evidence for continental drift is that the continents appear to fit together like pieces of a puzzle. But scientists were skeptical , and Wegener needed additional evidence to support his hypothesis. Glaciers covered large areas that are now parts of these continents.
