1.2 How Science and Technology Are for Society
www.mext.go.jpAlfred Wegener’s theory of continental drift, announced in 1915, is widely accepted around the world today as the plate tectonics theory. At the time of its announcement, however, the mechanism for continental drift was unknown, and the theory attracted few supporters. In the 1950s and later, however, advances in sea floor monitoring
