No paid promotion, no dramatic voice, no call to like and subscribe, no personal opinion, just great narration and well presented knowledge sharing! Kudos and thanks to you Sir!

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

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.

I'm a Science/Biology teacher in a public school and your video helped me a lot to teaching continetal drift to my students. Thank you very much :)

Learning more on KZfaq than in school 😂😂😄

It was so hard to break down and digest in class. And here in 10 minuets I understood the whole theory. Thank you 🙏

I could feel the great work done by Alfred Wegener better through this video presentation. All children interested in geology will be immensely benefitted.

Just realized this vid was made in 2012, yet its quality is equivalent to that of a 2019 vid. Well done.

I suddenly found geography interesting. Thanks for helping me, geography test in one week!

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!

Well done 👍 I didn’t know how much work he did to prove his theory. RIP to a genius well before his time.

RIP Mr Wegner 🙏. I'm his fan forever

Pangaea = supercontinent Panthalassa = ocean when pangaea exists

i bet u r here for home school also remember when teachers said youtube is bad and today they are telling us to work on computers

Why would you dislike this? It’s educational.

He was a true Genius! 100 years at least ahead of his time.

pov: u came from online school

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.

You were expecting a normal comment about science in a science video, but it was Me DIO!!

Very well explained.. I assume you are a teacher.. So simple yet so easy to understand.. Good job for you in making people cleverer than before..

highest quality 2012 video on youtube i have ever seen. congratulations

Evidence #5: Flat earthers don't believe in continental drift, so it must be true.

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.

Within 10 min I learned and understood more on this compared to learning in class. Geography is the best

Wished I could've watched this video when I was in school , learning about this .. but still .. a great watch . And still worth even now ..

i cant believe this was made in 2012 this video is like 2020 quality

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!

Wegener here: Thanks for telling my story

Excellent stuff. Smooth like butter. Thanks for sharing a flawless video.

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.

That's very well explained.

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 enjoyed every word you spoke. I appreciate all the slides. Thanks a lot

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.

Just imagine the teacher teach this lesson for an hour, but he only explained it briefly and understandable for only minutes

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. 🌼🌼

Kind of you to do an honour and remembrance story for this legend👍

My respect to you, for telling this man's story. Thank you...

I have watched this 4 times and I wish more videos were about this.

Thanks for this! This helped with my homework about the supporting evidence of the Continental Drift

I loved your way of explanation...and now I m sure that I m never gonna forget this..thank you😊

This makes geography easy to understand,thanks for this it helps me study with passion and Interest

A superbly narrated and logically constructed instruction. Thanks very much.

0:08 New Zealand: aM I a J0kE To Y0u

Am loving all of your videos, Michael! Thank you.

The fact that a weather person did that is literally insane . 😃 Round of applause for him 👏

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.

Thank you you helped me do my essay

OMG I'm learning about continental drift in my science class. I wonder why this was in my recommendations

That was an awesome lesson on Continental Drift!

Thank you sir for explaining clearly

i like this so much this is so much effort and i'm 9 years old and i can learned it in science thank you for your hard work it was very interesting

Really good video! Everything is so clear and easy to understand! Thanks and keep up the good work

love this video, it feels like someone is just telling me a story

R.I.P Sir Alfred Wegner🙏 Thank you for the video, wish I could like it a 100x.

That was some really good explanation, you gotta be some really good teacher

Thank you sir .This lecture helps me alot 😊 Great teacher ☺️

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 :)

Plate Tectonics embraces Alfred's work. He was a cousin of my mother.

Learning more in yt then in school lol

A wonderful presentation Thank you 😊

Great content and accurate data, very well presented and orchestrated. Excited for more content! Thank you! Love from South Africa!

The world need people such as him

Hi there! Nice content. Helped me a lot with a class. I'm science and biology teacher. You really have done a great work here =D

You are amazing ! You make it so easy to understand thank you

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

Alfred Wegener presented his life for the thrust of knowledge. I had doubt used to think it was speculation but now ‘we r in the same boat brother …’

This lesson is just wow

He can be a professor. The way he explained is clear and understandable

As perfect as it can be Thank you Sir appreciated 🙌

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.

Really ,it proved to be a great help thank you sooo much 😁

I found geography now interesting. Well explained, thanks man!

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

Me: **starts writing my project that im 1 day late on**

I really loved every minute of this video

Ambitious Alfred wegener Sir... Salute to your work.. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Lately but I found the best channel to learn geography concepts. Thank you sir!

2 fricking hours of geography in school and you learn nothing. 10 minutes of the theory and you learn something XD

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?

I am learning it on 2022 and it was recorded 9 years ago...woww thanks man

Thank you for the lesson not taught in school.

I learned this about my school yesterday and now it’s on my recommendation Illuminati confirmed

Alfred Wegener: They called me a madman!

Awesome thing I have learned thanks

Hope that someone continues with the theory for him

I am studying geology Can you explain the field geology Please It's really help for me and my colleague

Me : trying to learn something new This video : AAAAHHHH LETS TALK ABOUT THE CONTINENTAL DRIFT

in the beginning, he literally put "yeet" in the subtitles when he was talking about continental drift and that was literally so funny xD

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 🕯️

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".

Sea floor spreading caused them to move apart.

I did not expect that ending

You are a gifted teacher. Your presentations are well structured. Thank you very much for your effort!

My fvrt sub geograpy

I feel like my teacher would love this video

Ultimate explaination 👍

Hey man your teaching is amazing. I liked your simple language due to which I was able to get you clearly. Thank you very much

Pangaea was made from the cracking that occurred from gigantic pressures, gasses/ vapors, and intense heat that was released once the fountains of the deep were oppened.
