The story is interesting but the ending hit me hard, it's pretty sad that he didn't see his work get recognized and taught all over the world. Truly a dedicated man

@@MelonMan It's not plates like you have been taught , don't believe all that you are told . People need to do more research instead of believe everything told . Not plates , it would blow your mind to know the truth.
I could feel the great work done by Alfred Wegener better through this video presentation. All children interested in geology will be immensely benefitted.
Thank you for this interesting and straightforward presentation. I just had my 4th grader watch it as a primer for her lesson on Drifting Continents and she was all fired up. You never know when your contributions will help turn a small person into a future scientist!
Alfred Wegener was such a great person. It's sad that he died so tragically. He was out on his fourth expedition in the middle of Greenland, walking through the middle of nowhere, by himself, when he suddenly had an heart attack and died. His body was never moved, and is still in the middle of nowhere. His body is estimated to be buried under three-hundred feet of snow. The exact location of his base called "Eismitte", (German for "middle ice") is unknown today.
It is typical of our academic institutional blindness that the truth of the various sciences comes from 'outside the well-worn and established accepted messengers'... Alfred Wegener in the early 1900's... Immanuel Velikovsky in the mid 20th century... More visionaries outside the confines of the disciplinary separation of specialists will see the facts here and there and turn many currently held beliefs into yesterday's 'flat earth'... Welcome the visionary for they 'see'.
shivercanada It hasn't been a hundred years since his death and we know the causes of continental drift so he couldn't have been a hundred years at least before his time. 20, maybe, before this was widely accepted and understood.
In fact, he (Wegener) played a negative role. Instead of thinking about the Earth expansion (suggested well before the Wegener's continental drift), Wegener made geologists to develop "plate tectonics" which was a completely erroneous hypothesis. But this funny hypothesis would be inevitably neglected!
This genius of a man Sir Alfred Wegner was the reason I started to love geography. Now, I am in university pursuing a B.Sc Geography (Hons) degree. Your video just made me nostalgic. Thank you :)
Thank you, I am a 64 years old, and just learned of this today. I was watching Lil’ Dickey’s video, “PILLOW TALK”. And heard the term “Pangea” . Looks up the definition...which led me to a morning of enlightenment. Thank you for your informative content. Keep Learning people.
Hi there! I'm a middle schooler, I'm in Grade six, and I'm impressed by your work! I learnt more from your video than in school! Since the Corona-Virus is here, I have Online Classes and for my Geography subject, I have a Reflection Worksheet to fill about the Continental Drift theory, the school picked your video to show everyone about the Continental Drift Theory! I probably watched this video two times, it's long, but very informative! Thank you so much!
I've got an exam about this tomorrow and struggled trying to find videos that are actually helpful and linked to my exam until i found this 11 year old video that LITERALLY answers 4 of my questions, thank you so much for this... oh my god 😭
I am studying geology on my own and your presentation was most helpful. Simple, yet covered the topic well. Poor Wegener....still out there. Now off to see some of your other videos. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing the works of Alfred Wegener, I found it most interesting and also more to the point, I believe his work shed light on a great many finds.
Accurate, thorough, succinct, good video. You should follow up this video up with several others to explain the theory of plate tectonics. Based on the comments these people think that continental drift is the end of the story.
Actually, the die hard Flat Earthers use continental drift as the center point of proof and Newtonian physics actually back it up. The Earth is a rotating disc and due to angular momentum material is spreading outwards. To them, this also explains the great ice wall that is the boundary. I take great delight that the same works for a rotating sphere. And the proof in that is that the Earth does bulge at the equator. This drives the Flat Earthers nutz because the best comeback is that it's just a ripple or a wave, again something that can be backed up by physics.
Woww ....... thanks Sir for giving that much information in just 12 minutes without wasting our single minute. I came here only got to know about continental drift theory but because of you I got to know about a great scientist Wegner and his continues efforts towards his work. 🌼🌼
Mr. Sammartano, your videos are outstanding! Please continue to add Earth science videos that assist middle and high school students (and teachers) to understand the complex topics about the Earth!
Unfortunately, this guy is misleading you. He can’t even spell Pangea correctly. Please study plate tectonics which has long ago replaced “continental drift.” Because continents don’t “drift.”
When I was young I did quite a few puzzles and always thought the continents could be connected. Put in the seafloor spreading theory and it totally makes sense. Its even crazier to think that different continents have similar formations and plant fossils.
So what drives the seperation of the original supercontinent into fragments that drift apart. Is it a collision with a foreign body in space? Where's the impact zone, under the Pacific? Why is Earth's ocean floor crust spreading, like the crust of a yeasty dough, is Earth swelling? Maybe not, if subduction accounts for the mantle/core convection process right up at the crust. But doesn't that also imply there is a thinner boundary between the lithic strata which would still be explicable as potentially due to a massive collision with a gigantic foreign object, perhaps introduced to the Earth in its past?
it cleared my concept like anything,i missed the link of this video and the wordings of this video were going on in my mind,finally i searched it back. Its brief,to the point and perfectly explained.
The Indian mainland was part of Gondwana land and was separated from the northern Eurasia land mass by Tethys sea. Because of drifting off land mass the Himalayas have risen from the bottom of Tethys Sea. In the gandaki river of Nepal we find the fossils of Marine life, We call these fossils as " Saligram".
@im anonymous so u dont want to know my name Seriously dude...🤦♂️T-SERIES is only for Indians no-one forcing you and others to visit this channel. Not today or tomorrow but one day he will be overtaken by T-Series there will be no-one to save him. You just relax and have fun watching PewDiePie contents.

At nine min I wanted to scream saying OK OK I UNDERSTAND. What you are saying makes logical sense. You pounded knowledge into my skull, now leave me alone! Good Job!!!
The correct term is "plate tectonics." "Continental Drift" was the initial observation by Wegener. When science finally accepted it, they ran with it and developed a whole field of geology about it.
Definitely he would be a royal member of the library. I can imagine how he enjoys his research work. Respect the way he trust himself and constantly seeking the truth 🕯️
watch it after Jakarta hit by 7.4 SR earthquake. one of the risks to live within ring of fire. could it be the frequent earthquake happen recently on ring of fire is the sign of the moving plates of continents? will it be reform in another way?
Awesome video. Thanks! I just recently saw a home video filmed in Africa of an island actively floating over and colliding with the earth on the other side of the "creek" and smashing into and over the earth on the other side just enough for the guys in the video to walk over it. Although it is a smaller scale and there and been a recent earth quake, it made me think of this theory. I believe they were actually witnessing the theory "in action". It was awesome. Almost like watching the last few inches collide that may have allowed prehistoric "asians" to walk from Siberia to North America becoming prehistoric "native americans". Fascinating
Its so Interesting, I am Florence From Papua Indonesia. By watched you video I got the answer that not only me who ask but when people met me and ask where I come from I said Indonesia which in the Easten part of Indonesia call Papua and they said but you are not look like Indonesian but you look like African and I said All of my people in Papua just look like me(black). So they though I'm African. I hope the will be more study about it because Papuan people,and Aborigines,African are look like.In terms of culture, skin tone,hair, food, so I strongly believe with his theory. I hope other scientist who intersting with this teori will continue find more evidence and can do other research about Papuan,Aborigines and Africans. Thank you for your Video👍👍👍👍
Overall. Good history lesson. Well done. I often hope someone will find his notes and him someday. I’m glad you pointed out that he never proposed a mechanism. That’s important. Technically making continental drift a hypothesis. Not a theory. At the time his concept wasn’t testable, he had no mechanism, he developed no predictive models outside of extensions of his own observations. He basically just made a bunch of correlations (albeit good ones) and drew conclusions from that. Those basic conclusions just happened to work out. Technically continental drift has been abandoned in favor of Plate Tectonics. PT=/= continental drift. PT is a theory that provides mechanisms and presents testable models that make predictions. This in no way negates what he discovered. Who knows how far he would have gotten had he lived.
Thank you so much , my English is not so perfect but the way how you explain this was so easy to understand so fascinating so interesting. Thank you so much 🥰 all your videos and speech is so great, thank you

Oh my gosh, can everyone stop saying he misspelled Pangaea? It's a typing error, everyone does it. I think he knows he's made a mistake after the first 5 comments. xD
Every video can be re-edited. If he has not done so, then he is either unaware, does not re-check his work, or is too lazy. Maybe too embarrassed to admit hat he is in error in detaiil and facts and went global with it, a flawed theory.
The tectonic forces existing at the time of the release of global volcanic eruptions of steam, lava, pyroclastics and plateau basalts during the Noahic flood, explains the perfect preservation of fossils, including coal deposited from vast floating rafts of vegetation as the rain stopped and the ocean basins subsided. It also obviously explains the global distribution of sedimentary rocks, often horizontal or gently dipping, which were eroded by the retreating flood waters as the tectonic uplift of the mountain ranges coincided with subsudence of ocean basins. Convection currents in the hydrated mantle perhaps drove this continental repositioning over just one year! Ocean-basins formed from mid-oceanic ridge basaltic outflows probably was rapid and was synchronous with plate tectonics imho...
Nice video, but isn't continental drift considered a hypothesis? The theory of plate tectonics was definitely helped by Wegener's hypothesis, but without the mechanisms of seafloor spreading and subduction, it couldn't be called a theory.

Evidence #5: Flat earthers don't believe in continental drift, so it must be true.
I was theorizing could it have been flat and then expanded with water like a balloon
Approved by flat earthers all around the globe.
lol. Just learn the evidence behind the opposite of whatever they're passionately convinced of, and you'll probably be on the right track.

Actually, the die hard Flat Earthers use continental drift as the center point of proof and Newtonian physics actually back it up. The Earth is a rotating disc and due to angular momentum material is spreading outwards. To them, this also explains the great ice wall that is the boundary.

He basically just made a bunch of correlations (albeit good ones) and drew conclusions from that. Those basic conclusions just happened to work out.
Technically continental drift has been abandoned in favor of Plate Tectonics. PT=/= continental drift. PT is a theory that provides mechanisms and presents testable models that make predictions.
This in no way negates what he discovered. Who knows how far he would have gotten had he lived.

Thank you so much , my English is not so perfect but the way how you explain this was so easy to understand so fascinating so interesting. Thank you so much 🥰 all your videos and speech is so great, thank you
Inner heat of earth drives the shift of inner parts of Earth in a systematic centralized spherical structure driving Continental drift
Thanks, they always present continental drift for a bird's point of view when the should be showing a worm's eye view
Thank you so much. But it makes me curious. Why are so many people doubting about this information? It's clearly important and if you know something that contradicts the information. Please share it with us. We are not all well informed as you are. Besides that. Thank you Mike. I've learnes a lot.
Really good video! Everything is so clear and easy to understand! Thanks and keep up the good work
Thank you so much, Mike. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch.

Hello god like being.
I am this mans child and I want you to know he screenshotted this comment and texted it to me.
You are a fucking icon
My son here you are
@@Fw.Jayden1 I genuinely wish I was joking about this
Oh my gosh, can everyone stop saying he misspelled Pangaea? It's a typing error, everyone does it. I think he knows he's made a mistake after the first 5 comments. xD
And it was 6 years ago 😑
OCD is alive and well
Every video can be re-edited. If he has not done so, then he is either unaware, does not re-check his work, or is too lazy. Maybe too embarrassed to admit hat he is in error in detaiil and facts and went global with it, a flawed theory.
The tectonic forces existing at the time of the release of global volcanic eruptions of steam, lava, pyroclastics and plateau basalts during the Noahic flood, explains the perfect preservation of fossils, including coal deposited from vast floating rafts of vegetation as the rain stopped and the ocean basins subsided. It also obviously explains the global distribution of sedimentary rocks, often horizontal or gently dipping, which were eroded by the retreating flood waters as the tectonic uplift of the mountain ranges coincided with subsudence of ocean basins. Convection currents in the hydrated mantle perhaps drove this continental repositioning over just one year! Ocean-basins formed from mid-oceanic ridge basaltic outflows probably was rapid and was synchronous with plate tectonics imho...
Nice video, but isn't continental drift considered a hypothesis? The theory of plate tectonics was definitely helped by Wegener's hypothesis, but without the mechanisms of seafloor spreading and subduction, it couldn't be called a theory.
I don't think you know what a theory is.
I was having similar doubt about this theory. It didn't explain the submerged land which comes in between and under these elevated land puzzles
wow, this is fascinating. the last piece of evidence really got me.
Asia: Why are you going far away from me ?
Australia: Does that matter you so much ? I want to live on my own.....
😁😁😁 (Australia smart guy)
he was brilliant. i completely support this theory
