<start_of_turn>model
Alfred Wegener, born November 1, 1880 in Berlin and died in November 1930 in Greenland near the Eismitte base, is a German astronomer and meteorologist by training and mainly known for his theory of “continental drift” proposed in 1912 then published in 1915. Initially an astronomer, he became interested in several related subjects such as meteorology, geophysics and geology. He made numerous expeditions to Greenland to study the meteorology of the polar regions.

His theory was based on numerous arguments belonging to various disciplinary fields (geodesy, geophysics, structural geology, paleontology) but was not accepted by the majority of the scientific community until forty years after his death, when the mechanisms of rock tectonics plaques were highlighted.<end_of_turn><eos>
