Summary: "Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane" by Alfred Wegener is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work elaborates on Wegener's theory of continental drift, exploring the origins and movements of the Earth's continents and oceans. The book is significant in the fields of geology and geophysics, attempting to provide a comprehensive explanation for the distribution of landmasses and oceanic features based on scientific observations and principles. The opening of the book presents a preface in which Wegener discusses the evolution of geological theories, particularly contrasting the previous shrinking Earth hypothesis with his own theories of Continental Drift and Isostasy. He emphasizes the inadequacies of past theories in explaining geological formations and introduces the concept that continents have moved over geological time. Wegener also mentions the collaboration with other scientists that has informed his research, setting the stage for a more rigorous examination of how continents and oceans have developed throughout Earth's history.
