Even before the trip to the inland ice began the expedition was almost annihilated by a calving glacier. Die Entstehung der Kontinente Aufgabenübersicht 1 Bestimme die Merkmale, die Wegners Theorie von der Kontinentalverschiebung belegen. 66-95).Pp. Not yet 32, Alfred Wegener had already published in several branches of meteorology and his admired textbook, Thermodynamics of the Atmosphere (1911) showed him to be unusually skilled at synthesis. His lectures formed the basis of what was to become a standard textbook in meteorology, first written In 1909/1910: Thermodynamik der Atmosphäre (Thermodynamics of the Atmosphere), in which he incorporated many of the results of the Greenland expedition. Wegener's last Greenland expedition was in 1930. true polar wander), which he assumes is as important as continental drift in accounting for observed changes in paleolatitude since the Permian glaciation. With continents in fixed positions, Permian ice sheets occurred across most of the southern hemisphere, while in the northern hemisphere no verified Permian glacial deposit exists anywhere. He speculates that continental displacements might be the cause of the wobble itself. Die vierte Auflage wurde in … Rare in wrappers. Antarctica, Australia, India and Madagascar fit next to the tip of Southern Africa. Only a few kilometers from the western Greenland settlement of Kangersuatsiaq the small team ran out of food while struggling to find their way through difficult glacial breakup terrain. If such a series of astonishing. Wegener (1880-1930) died at the early age of 50 on an arctic expedition at Eismitte in Greenland. These differences follow automatically from the hypothesis: “While the Atlantic opens, nearly all the Pacific margins approach towards its center; along its coasts widespread compression and convergence occur, but tension and rifting in the Atlantic”. The theory was widely discussed and seems to have been favored more by geographers and paleoclimatologists than by geologists and geophysicists. simplifications follow, and if it is shown that ‘rhyme and reason’ will now come to Earth history, why should we hesitate to cast the old view overboard?”” (Hoffmann). Vor ca. It awards the Wegener Medal in his name. Between 1919 and 1928 continental drift was “the focus of much controversy and debate, but the theory afterwards fell into obscurity, not to be revived until the discovery of new paleomagnetic evidence in the 1950s” (Norman). He uses the term ‘crust’ as synonymous with ‘lithosphere’. Wege… His separation age being at least 100 times too young, the rate is too fast by the same multiple. On 6 January 1912 Wegener “presented a startling new vision of crustal history at a meeting of the recently founded Geological Association (Geologische Vereinigung) in Frankfurt. “Wegener concludes the geological arguments with paleoclimatic (mainly floral) evidence for polar wander (i.e. Browse more videos. lichtjahre.eu. Der Grund dafür ist, dass die Kontinente wie riesige Schollen auf dem flüssigen Gestein des Erdmantels liegen und sich deshalb ganz ganz langsam bewegen können. During the expedition Wegener constructed the first meteorological station in Greenland near Danmarkshavn, where he launched kites and tethered balloons to make meteorological measurements in an Arctic climatic zone. Die Entdeckung Australiens folgte mindestens 100 Jahre später. Vor rund 300 Millionen Jahren sah alles noch anders aus. There being only enough supplies for three at Eismitte, Wegener and Rasmus Villumsen took two dog sleds and made for West camp. 055 Die Entstehung der Kontinente - Alfred Wegener und die Plattentektonik. In the Pacific, smooth arcuate coastlines or volcanic chains parallel fold belts that are everywhere vergent toward the ocean. Villumsen had buried the body with great care, and a pair of skis marked the grave site. Rather, he visualizes the sima as being exhumed in a solid state, as it does in the transition to seafloor spreading on non-volcanic margins. Since large areas of the seafloor are isostatically compensated, areas that are younger and hotter will be modestly elevated over those that are older and colder. Arbeitsblätter zum Ausdrucken von sofatutor.com Die Entstehung der Kontinente 1 Bestimme die Merkmale, die Wegners Theorie von der Kontinentalverschiebung belegen. Foreshadowing the Wilson cycle he writes, “the rift that once opened to form the Pacific and to compress the primeval continent [Pangaea] from both sides, originated in oldest geological times, and the resulting motion was long extinct when the forces (that formed the Atlantic) commenced.” Returning to the Atlantic, he suggests an explanation for seafloor topography. Im Laufe der Zeiten brach dieser Superkontinent an immer mehr Stellen auseinander. Discussion meetings were held in England, South Africa and New York. All rights reserved. Nevertheless, he was able in 1915 to complete the first version of his major work, Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane (“The Origin of Continents and Oceans”). “No fold belt borders the Pacific from its inner side; no platform projects into the ocean.” He notes that the Pacific is on the whole deeper than the Atlantic, with correspondingly less calcareous abyssal sediments, and that Pacific volcanic rocks are less chemically evolved. Vor 250 Millionen Jahren hättest du nur einen Schritt machen müssen, um von Südamerika nach Afrika zu reisen. Die Landmassen liegen jedoch nicht still, sondern bewegen sich ganz langsam. He used [Eduard] Suess’s terms, ‘sial’ for the continental rafts and ‘sima’ for the substrate, assumed to be directly covered by abyssal sediments. Damals gab es den Urkontinent Pangäa. On the war front in Belgium he experienced fierce fighting but his term lasted only a few months: after being wounded twice he was declared unfit for active service and assigned to the army weather service. Die Publikation der renommierten National Geographic Society, das amerikanische Magazin mit gleichem Namen („NatGeo“), bezeichnet continents als zu unterscheidende Regionen, Areale der Erde und legt auch die Anzahl der Teile fest, nämlich – sieben. Wegener’s drift mechanism was later shown to be untenable; it has been replaced by the idea of convection currents in the earth’s upper mantle. In 1917 he undertook a scientific investigation of the Treysa meteorite. The theory was widely discussed and seems to have been favored more by geographers and paleoclimatologists than by geologists and geophysicists. “However, almost half a century later, with the advent of new methods and knowledge (sea floor spreading) and the discovery of paleomagnetism (1950), this concept was fully revived and fully accepted, upgraded and improved. His estimates are everywhere too young—Paleogene (actually Early Cretaceous) in the South Atlantic, Neogene (actually Jurassic) in the North Atlantic and Quaternary (actually Eocene) between NW Europe and Greenland. Blackett was soon producing data in favour of Wegener's theory. After all, he was not driven by any particular geodynamic mechanism (he admitted he had none), he was driven by the converging lines of geological evidence.“Wegener concludes the geological arguments with paleoclimatic (mainly floral) evidence for polar wander (i.e. The model of the motion of large planetary plates (continental and oceanic) gave birth to the theory of plate tectonics. He speculates that continental displacements might be the cause of the wobble itself. Not satisfied, he wrote an expanded version under the same title that was published in a leading geographical journal in three installments [the offered paper]. Next he turns to the ‘Permian’ glaciation, represented by “indisputable ground moraines” on “typically striated pavements” in Australia, South Africa, eastern India and South America. [16] Wegener's main interest was meteorology, and he wanted to join the Denmark-Greenland expedition scheduled for mid-1912. The last estimate in particular led him to predict that the separation rate between NW Europeand Greenland is ~2 meters per year and testable by geodetic experiment. In the Pacific, smooth arcuate coastlines or volcanic chains parallel fold belts that are everywhere vergent toward the ocean. A continent can neither rise from the abyss or sink to abyssal depth spontaneously. Januar in der Ges. Durch die sogenannte Kontinentaldrift entstanden im Laufe der … Damals existierten lediglich der riesige Superkontinent namens "Pangea" und der globale Ozean "Panthalassa". The 1960s saw several relevant developments in geology, notably the discoveries of seafloor spreading and Wadati–Benioff zones, and this led to the rapid resurrection of the continental drift hypothesis in the form of its direct descendant, the theory of plate tectonics. Their third daughter Hanna Charlotte ("Lotte", 1920–1989) was born in Hamburg. Moreover, he suggests that continental displacements were thecause of polar shifts, because “the pole of rotation must follow the pole of inertia”. “Wegener is remembered today as the originator and one of the chief proponents of the theory of continental drift, which he conceived after being struck by the apparent correspondence in the shapes of the coastlines on the west and east sides of the Atlantic, and supported with extensive research on the geological and paleontological correspondences between the two sides. [30], The Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven, Germany, was established in 1980 on Wegener's centenary. It was, however, not translated into English until 1962. z. Beförd. From the start, geographers were as engaged as geologists in the controversy over continental drift. The mass excess of its elevation is compensated by a mass deficit at depth. Interest in this small publication was however low, also because of wartime chaos. Wegener came in for heavy criticism from geographers for suggesting that such data were consistent with displacement. meaning "All-Lands" or "All-Earth"). He compares the structure and geological history of his Atlantic conjugate margins, estimating the age of opening of different segments and speculating on connections between South Atlantic opening and Andeancontraction. Die Entstehung der Kontinente. He and a colleague, Rasmus Villumsen, took dog sleds to travel to another camp although they never reached it. Gotha: Justus Perthes, 1912. From 1919 to 1923 Wegener did pioneering work on reconstructing the climate of past eras (now known as "paleoclimatology"), closely in collaboration with Milutin Milanković,[11] publishing Die Klimate der geologischen Vorzeit (“The Climates of the Geological Past”) together with his father-in-law, Wladimir Köppen, in 1924. Gotha: Justus Perthes, 1912. Wegener felt personally responsible for the expedition's success, as the German government had contributed $120,000 ($1.5 million in 2007 dollars). It is to be hoped that an English edition will soon appear.” Others were less kind. But with war clouds looming over Europe and RMS Titanic hogging the headlines, it would be ten years and three editions of his subsequent book, The Origin of Continents and Oceans [Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane, 1915], before Wegener-bashing began in earnest.“The longer 1912 paper came out in three installments: (1) geophysical arguments, (2) geological arguments, and (3) remaining geological arguments, present displacements and polar wobble. In (1) he introduces the elevation duality, gravity measurements and isostasy, thickness of the continental rafts, their composition, their plasticity in relation to that of their substrate, volcanism, and possible causes of displacement. Reviews of The Origin of Continents and Oceans appeared in leading international journals, starting with a highly favourable one in Nature of the 2nd edition. He considers it premature, however, to interpret the ‘Lower Cambrian’ glaciations in Norway, China and Australia (read Cryogenian snowball Earth) in terms of polar wander. Afterward he studied Physics, meteorology and Astronomy in Berlin, Heidelberg and Innsbruck. THE fourth edition of Wegener's “Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane” is greatly enlarged and improved. Januar in der Ges. 200 Millionen Jahren bildeten alle Kontinente eine einzige Landmasse. "[17] However, he did not pursue these ideas in his later works. Zeit seines Lebens wurde diese Theorie größtenteils abgelehnt, und geriet nach seinem Tod in Vergessenheit. As an infantry reserve officer Wegener was immediately called up when the First World War began in 1914. In 1943, George Gaylord Simpson wrote a strong critique of the theory (as well as the rival theory of sunken land bridges) and gave evidence for the idea that similarities of flora and fauna between the continents could best be explained by these being fixed land masses which over time were connected and disconnected by periodic flooding, a theory known as permanentism. 3, n. 4, 9 July 1912, pp. Withering criticism was the response of most experts. Next he turns to the ‘Permian’ glaciation, represented by “indisputable ground moraines” on “typically striated pavements” in Australia, South Africa, eastern India and South America. Alfred Wegener first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Zu dieser Zeit war der größte Teil der Landmasse auf der Erde vereint, und zwar zu einem einzigen Superkontinent mit dem Namen Pangaea. Die sechs größeren (Asien, Afrika, Nordamerika, Südamerika, Antarktika und Europa) sind bei beiden aufgeführt. From the start, geographers were as engaged as geologists in the controversy over continental drift. lichtjahre.eu. As a geophysicist interested in glaciology, hewas more convinced than contemporary geologists that isostasy precludes land bridges from sinking to abyssal depth.

Die Neue Welt entdeckten die Europäer erst zu Beginn der Neuzeit. After his return in 1908 and until World War I, Wegener was a lecturer in meteorology, applied astronomy and cosmic physics at the University of Marburg. 23) erschienenen Schrift, die vergriffen ist. Diese beiden kann man auch als einen großen Doppelkontinent sehen, also Amerika. an elastic crust that floats on a fluid medium). Wegener was in the audience for this lecture, but made no attempt to defend his work, possibly because of an inadequate command of the English language. Teil: „Entstehung der Erde“ oder „Wie kam die Erde zur Welt“ 1.) (Braunschweig: Friedr. [4][5] Wegener was involved in several expeditions to Greenland to study polar air circulation before the existence of the jet stream was accepted. lichtjahre.eu. A third edition of his book on the subject appeared in 1922 and was translated into English, French, Russian, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese. Not yet 32, Alfred Wegener had already published in several branches of meteorology and his admired textbook, Thermodynamics of the Atmosphere (1911) showed him to be unusually skilled at synthesis. Wegener's paper (1912) online and analyzed, This page was last edited on 17 January 2021, at 07:21. Original printed wrappers, old tape repairs to hinges, extremeties slightly frayed. On 24 September, although the route markers were by now largely buried under snow, Wegener set out with thirteen Greenlanders and his meteorologist Fritz Loewe to supply the camp by dog sled. The Atlantic margins, with their “ragged shorelines and cut tablelands”, follow the inner sides of older mountain belts (Appalachians, Caledonides, Mauritanides, Cape Foldbelt). By the end of the war Wegener had published almost 20 additional meteorological and geophysical papers in which he repeatedly embarked for new scientific frontiers. viii + 144. [9] Inside their hut they drilled to a depth of 25 m with an auger. Damit war die Idee der Kontinentalverschiebung geboren, die Wegener erstmals 1915 in seinem Hauptwerk "Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane" publizierte. In diesem Webquest lernst du, warum sich das Gesicht der Erde ständig verändert, auch wenn du es nicht bemerkst. Mit seinem Buch Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane hat Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) die Lehre von der Drift der Kontinente kreiert und begründet. He proposed that geological interpretations would be greatly simplified if continents were allowed to undergo large relative horizontal displacements. Im … He and other expedition members built a pyramid-shaped mausoleum in the ice and snow, and Alfred Wegener's body was laid to rest in it. Alfred Lothar Wegener (/ˈveɪɡənər/;[1] German: [ˈʔalfʁeːt ˈveːɡənɐ];[2][3] 1 November 1880 – November 1930) was a German polar researcher, geophysicist and meteorologist. ABPC/RBH record no copies of this important paper in the original printed wrappers since the Norman copy, which was rebacked (Christie’s, 29 October 1998, lot 1337, $2185).Before Wegener put forward his revolutionary theory, it “was widely believed that continents and ocean basins are primordial features. aller Aufgaben, Tipps, Lösungen und Lösungswege Januar 1912 auf der Jahresversammlung der Geologischen Vereinigung in Frankfurt a. M. vorgetragen unter dem Titel: „Die Herausbildung der Grossformen der Erdrinde (Kontinente und Ozeane), auf geophysikalischer Grundlage“, und weiter am 10. Villumsen was 23 when he died, and it is estimated that his body, and Wegener's diary, now lie under more than 100 metres (330 ft) of accumulated ice and snow. Therefore, let us, just for once, take [displacement] into consideration! Aus Staub wurden Sterne und die Sonne Die meisten Forscher sind überzeugt davon, dass es vor etwa 15 Milliarden Jahren eine unvorstellbar mächtige Explosion, den Urknall, gab. Nicht immer sahen die Kontinente der Erde so aus, wie sie es heute tun. (German for "primal continent", analogous to the Greek "Pangaea",[20] Moreover, he suggests that continental displacements were the. But he was unknown in geology and had only been seriously reading the geological literature for about four months. 36) in three complete issues of Dr. A. Petermanns Mitteilungen aus Justus Perthes' geographischer Anstalt, Bd. Der … The fit is even better, Wegener continued, if the tops of the respective continental slopes are matched instead of the present coastlines. The continental shelf of the Americas fits closely to Africa and Europe. Diese Bewegungen sind dafür verantwortlich, dass aus dem Urkontinent Pangäa unsere heutigen Kontinente auf der Erde entstanden. “This is an idea I’ll have to pursue”, but he did nothing more with it until the Fall of 1911, when he “quite accidentally” came upon a treatise on continental paleogeography (strata, flora, fauna and climate), compiled by a German high-school teacher only two years older than himself. “Wegener’s office mate had received a world atlas with up-to-date bathymetric maps for Christmas in 1910. They noticed that the east coast of South America appears to fit against the west coast of Africa, “as if they had once been joined”. existed in Central Europe during Pleistocene interglacial times, but not during the Holocene. He noticed that there was a significant similarity between matching sides of the continents, especially in fossil plants. 6 years ago | 11.2K views. The 14 participants under his leadership were to establish three permanent stations from which the thickness of the Greenland ice sheet could be measured and year-round Arctic weather observations made. Einer Veröffentlichung einer Unterrichtshilfe (ein Übungsblatt) der traditionsreichen britischen Royal Geographical Society ist diese Zahl ebenso zu entnehmen. 2 Charakterisiere die Bewegungsformen der Lithosphärenplatten. In 1905 Wegener became an assistant at the Aeronautisches Observatorium Lindenberg near Beeskow. Foreshadowing the Wilson cycle he writes, “the rift that once opened to form the Pacific and to compress the primeval continent [Pangaea] from both sides, originated in oldest geological times, and the resulting motion was long extinct when the forces (that formed the Atlantic) commenced.” Returning to the Atlantic, he suggests an explanation for seafloor topography. He infers a climate like southern Russia and western Siberia for Central Europe, which would be “implausible with the present ocean so close in the west”.

Ob aus mehreren Kilometern Höhe oder im tiefsten Dunkel der Weltmeere: "Weltbewegend - Die Entstehung der Kontinente" zeigt in Verbindung mit modernster 3D-Technologie, wie unser Planet zu seiner jetzigen Form gelangen konnte und wie sich sein Gesicht in Zukunft verändern wird. It apparently makes no difference to Wegener how hard or how soft are the rocks of these shore lines, what are their geological structures that might aid or retard land or marine erosion, how often the strand lines have been elevated or depressed, and how far peneplanation has gone on during each period of continental stability. But he was unknown in geology and had only been seriously reading the geological literature for about four months. The north pole would lie in the north Pacific Ocean, taking “everything mysterious away from the phenomenon.” The paper reaches its climax when Wegener contrasts the Atlantic–Indian and Pacific ocean basins, explicitly as described in the opening stanzas of [Suess’s] Das Antlitz der Erde (1904). Auflage Entstehungsdatum: Erscheinungsdatum: 1929: Verlag: Friedr. The final and shortest section of the paper concerns geodetic proofs (i.e. Arbeitsblätter zum Ausdrucken von sofatutor.com Die Entstehung der Kontinente 1 Bestimme die Merkmale, die Wegners Theorie von der Kontinentalverschiebung belegen. Wegener drew together evidence from various fields to advance the theory that there had once been a giant continent, which he named "Urkontinent"[19] [6] The continental growth continued for billions of years and seems to be balanced today with its destruction rate. Transkript Die Entstehung der Kontinente. Wegener came in for heavy criticism from geographers for suggesting that such data were consistent with displacement. It is because ‘steppe animals’ (mammoth, woolly rhino, etc.) The reaction to Wegener has been a focus of attention by historians (including geologists), seeking reasons for the fury of Wegener’s critics” (Hoffmann). The continental growth continued for billions of years and seems to be balanced today with its destruction rate. He used [Eduard] Suess’s terms, ‘sial’ for the continental rafts and ‘sima’ for the substrate, assumed to be directly covered by abyssal sediments. He worked there with his brother Kurt, two years his senior, who was likewise a scientist with an interest in meteorology and polar research. “Wegener’s office mate had received a world atlas with up-to-date bathymetric maps for Christmas in 1910. The continents of today are the fragments of an ancestral landmass that rifted apart progressively in Mesozoic and Cenozoic time, allowing the Atlantic and Indian Ocean basins to grow at the expense of the Pacific. It is close enough to seafloor spreading, however, that one is left to wonder why Wegener subsequently abandoned such a promising lead. He obtained a doctorate in astronomy in 1905 based on a dissertation written under the supervision of Julius Bauschinger at Friedrich Wilhelms University (today Humboldt University), Berlin. The talk did not bring pleasure to its listeners. Gelesen auf Deutsch von Availle. As a geophysicist interested in glaciology, he, was more convinced than contemporary geologists that isostasy precludes land bridges from sinking to abyssal depth. The Danish expedition leader, Johan Peter Koch, broke his leg when he fell into a glacier crevasse and spent months recovering in a sickbed. But with war clouds looming over Europe and RMS Titanic hogging the headlines, it would be ten years and three editions of his subsequent book, The Origin of Continents and Oceans [Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane, 1915], before Wegener-bashing began in earnest. A more charitable view is that Wegener was providing ‘proof of concept’ and a baseline for “astronomical positioning during the course of several decades.” Wegener concludes with a comment on polar wobble, discovered by the American astronomer Seth Chandler in 1891 and monitored since 1899 by the International Latitude Service. In summer 1913 the team crossed the inland ice, the four expedition participants covering a distance twice as long as Fridtjof Nansen's southern Greenland crossing in 1888. “The longer 1912 paper came out in three installments: (1) geophysical arguments, (2) geological arguments, and (3) remaining geological arguments, present displacements and polar wobble. He, expends little space on causes, which he considers to be premature. Since large areas of the seafloor are isostatically compensated, areas that are younger and hotter will be modestly elevated over those that are older and colder. Asien, Europa und Afrika nennt man die Alte Welt, schon im Altertum reiste man zwischen Europa, Asien und Afrika hin und her. The continental shelf of the Americas fits closely to Africa and Europe. 66-95). This conviction was reinforced by global oceanographic surveys in 1872-77 demonstrating the Earth’s bimodal elevation frequency, and simultaneously by gravimetric and geodetic surveys in the western U.S. and elsewhere that confirmed the principle of isostasy (i.e. [23] The one American edition of Wegener's work, published in 1925, which was written in "a dogmatic style that often results from German translations",[23] was received so poorly that the American Association of Petroleum Geologists organized a symposium specifically in opposition to the continental drift hypothesis. Jahrhundert zu einer allmählichen Abkehr vom Fixismus hin zum Mobilismus. His brother Kurt remarked that Alfred Wegener's motivation was to “reestablish the connection between geophysics on the one hand and geography and geology on the other, which had become completely ruptured because of the specialized development of these branches of science.”. While his ideas attracted a few early supporters such as Alexander Du Toit from South Africa, Arthur Holmes in England [23] and Milutin Milanković in Serbia, for whom continental drift theory was the premise for investigating polar wandering,[24][25] University of California Museum of Paleontology, Learn how and when to remove this template message, Berlinisches Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster, American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, Account of Uiberreither postwar incognito life, "100 Years Later: Reflecting on Alfred Wegener's Contributions to Tornado Research in Europe", "Alfred Wegener - Biography, Facts and Pictures", "Wegener-Ampferer-Schwinner: Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte der Geologie in Österreich", 10.1130/0091-7613(1981)9<25:MCOEDA>2.0.CO;2, 10.1130/0091-7613(1976)4<41:AWROP>2.0.CO;2, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alfred_Wegener&oldid=1000896011, Short description is different from Wikidata, Wikipedia indefinitely move-protected pages, Wikipedia indefinitely semi-protected pages, Articles needing additional references from January 2015, All articles needing additional references, Articles with unsourced statements from July 2016, Articles with unsourced statements from June 2015, Articles with German-language sources (de), Wikipedia articles with BIBSYS identifiers, Wikipedia articles with CANTIC identifiers, Wikipedia articles with PLWABN identifiers, Wikipedia articles with SNAC-ID identifiers, Wikipedia articles with SUDOC identifiers, Wikipedia articles with Trove identifiers, Wikipedia articles with WORLDCATID identifiers, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License. Six months later, on 12 May 1931, Kurt Wegener discovered his brother's grave halfway between Eismitte and West camp. Dies ist das erste Buch, in dem Alfred Wegener seine Theorie der Kontinentalverschiebung darlegt. Aus der Bewegung kann man errechnen, dass der Atlantik seit Kolumbus Überfahrt im Jahr 1492 schon um 25 Meter breiter wurde. Marvin, Continental drift: The evolution of a concept.

In the next section, on Gondwanaland, his estimated separation ages for Africa–Madagascar, Australia–Antarctica, and Australia–India are broadly correct. Isostasy cut both ways however: it rendered physically implausible the land ‘bridges’ invoked by geologists to account for ancient floral and faunal similarities between continents now far apart” (Hoffmann, ‘The tooth of time: Alfred Wegener,’ Geoscience Canada 39 (2012), 102-111). [23] Part of the reason Wegener's ideas were not initially accepted was the misapprehension that he was suggesting the continents had fit along the current coastline. [12] In 1922 the third, fully revised edition of “The Origin of Continents and Oceans” appeared, and discussion began on his theory of continental drift, first in the German language area and later internationally. Nevertheless, so many published facts seemed inexplicable if his theory was wrong, that he submitted the text of his talk to the Geological Association under the brash title, The Origin of Continents [Die Entstehung der Kontinente]. He uses the term ‘crust’ as synonymous with ‘lithosphere’. Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane: Untertitel: aus: Vorlage:none: Herausgeber: Dr. Wilhelm Westphal Auflage: 4. [14] He supplied the camp successfully, but there was not enough food at the camp for him to stay there. Before Wegener put forward his revolutionary theory, it “was widely believed that continents and ocean basins are primordial features. Heexpends little space on causes, which he considers to be premature. The fit is even better, Wegener continued, if the tops of the respective continental slopes are matched instead of the present coastlines. Pp. The continents of today are the fragments of an ancestral landmass that rifted apart progressively in Mesozoic and Cenozoic time, allowing the Atlantic and Indian Ocean basins to grow at the expense of the Pacific.
