UBarry Marshall U-Edward B. Lewis UMartin Ryle UHans Georg DehmeltNgubani u-Alfred Wegener?
UAlfred Wegener, othathwa njengomnye wabaqali besiseko sekhulu lama-20 lenzululwazi, wayengumphandi owaziwayo waseJamani kunye nomphandi we polar. Ithiyori yakhe kwiLizwekazi iDrift ivuselele inguquko phakathi koluntu lwenzululwazi njengoko ibingasebenzi iziphumo zakwikhulu leminyaka elidlulileyo. Esi sazinzulu sizimiseleyo asizange sivumele ukubekelwa bucala kwasekuqaleni kwangqina umqobo kwaye wapapasha iingcamango zakhe kwincwadi yakhe ethi 'Imvelaphi yamazwekazi nolwandlekazi'. Esinye sezizathu zokuchaswa kweengcamango zakhe yayiyimvelaphi yakhe kwisayensi yeenkwenkwezi. Nangona wayeqhuba izifundo zobuchwephesha kwezenzululwazi ngeenkwenkwezi waqala ikhondo lemeteorology kunye nomntakwabo uKurt Wegener. Aba bazalwana babini babhala imbali xa babetshatisa eyona moya ibhaluni indiza inde ukuze bafunde ngomphezulu ongaphezulu. Le ngqondo yokufuna ukwazi yaqala nokuphononongwa kwezobunzululwazi kwiArctic kwaye yafunda iatmosfera kunye nomoya wangoku. Uye wapapasha incwadi yokuqala yemeteorology ‘Thermodynamics of the Atmosphere’ kwaye wayengutitshala odumileyo phakathi kwabafundi bakhe ngenxa yokukwazi kwakhe ukucacisa iikhonsepthi ezintsonkothileyo ngokulula. Ngexesha lokuhamba kwakhe kwesine ukuya eGreenland waqalisa iphulo eliyingozi elakhokelela ekufeni kwakhe kwaye ngelishwa akazange aphile ixesha elide ngokwaneleyo ukufumana uxabiso kwilizwe lezenzululwazi ngemisebenzi yakhe encomekayo.

Ityala lemifanekiso http://www.answers.com/Q/What_evidence_did_Wegener_make_use_of_to_develop_the_theory_of_continental_drift Ngaphambili Okulandelayo Ubuntwana kunye noBomi bokuqala UAlfred Wegner wazalwa, kusapho olwalutyebile eJamani, kwidolophu elikomkhulu laseBerlin, ngoNovemba 1, 1880. Wayengumntwana wesihlanu wendoda yecawa uRichard kunye noAnna Wegener. URichard ufundise iilwimi zakudala kwelinye lezona ziko libalaseleyo lemfundo, ‘Evangelisches Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster’, waseJamani. Emva kokufumana imfundo yemveli kwisikolo segrama i-‘Köllnisches Gymnasium ’, ngo-1899 waqhuba imfundo ephezulu kwiDyunivesithi yaseBerlin, eJamani emva koko e-Austria, egxila kwi-physics, imeteorology nakwi-astronomy. Umfundi oqaqambileyo wagxila kwi-astronomy kwaye waqeqeshwa kwilebhu eyaziwayo ye-astronomical yase-Urania ngo-1902-03. Walungiselela ithisisi yakhe yokufumana isidanga sobugqirha phantsi koqeqesho lwesazi ngeenkwenkwezi uJulius Bauschinger. Ngo-1905, wanikwa i-Ph.D. yi-'Friedrich Wilhelms University 'kodwa umdla kaAlfred kwinzululwazi ngeenkwenkwezi waphela kwaye wagqiba kwelokuba aqhubeke nomsebenzi kwicandelo le-geophysics kunye nemeteorology. Qhubeka nokuFunda apha ngezantsi Umsebenzi UWegner emva koko wasebenza kunye nomkhuluwa wakhe uKurt Wegner kwisikhululo semozulu kwaye bobabini baqhuba izifundo zentshukumo yomoya. Besebenzisa iibhaluni zemozulu, abazalwana bakaWegner badala imbali ngo-Epreli 1906 xa benza eyona ibhaluni yomoya inde ishushu yeeyure ezingama-52.5. Olu phandi luhamba ngenqanawa lwaqala uhambo lwalo oluya eArctic ngo-1906. Uhambo lwemozulu lwaseDenmark lwakhokelwa nguLudvig Mylius-Erichsen noAlfred bafunda imozulu kwingingqi ye-polar besebenzisa ii-kites kunye neebhaluni zemozulu. Nangona olu hambo lwalungamhle amava okufunda kuye kodwa lukwabonisa nobungozi bomsebenzi wakhe xa iqela laphulukana noLudvig nabanye oogxa bakhe ababini kuhambo. Ukubuya kwakhe kuhambo lwaseGreenland ngo-1908, uAlfred wathatha isikhundla sokufundisa kwiDyunivesithi yaseMarburg. Kwiziko, wasebenzisa amava akhe ophononongo lwe-Arctic ukucacisa iikhonsepthi ezinzima nezintsonkothileyo kwisicelo se-astronomy kunye ne-cosmic physics kubafundi ngendlela elula. Wayedume kakhulu phakathi kwabafundi ngezifundo zakhe ezimfutshane nezifutshane. Ezi ngcali ze-paleoclimatologists zinetalente zapapasha incwadi yokuqala ngqa yokufunda ngemozulu ‘Thermodynamik der Atmosphäre’ (Thermodynamics of the Atmosphere), ngo 1910. Wafaka uninzi lweziphumo zakhe zophando lwase Greenland kulencwadi. Ukusukela ngo 1910-1912, uWegner waphanda ngethiyori ye ‘Continental Drift’, eyacebisa ukuba amazwekazi akhoyo ngoku akhoyo kwilizwekazi elinye eliphambili. Ubuninzi bomhlaba buhlala budada phezu kwengubo engamanzi buya ngapha nangapha omnye komnye emhlabeni jikelele; okukhokelele kwizikhundla zabo zangoku emhlabeni. UAlfred kuqala unombono woluvo xa waqaphela imida yamazwekazi ase Mzantsi Melika kunye neAfrika abonakala ngathi ayahambelana njengeziqwenga zejigsaw puzzle. Ukubuyisa ithiyori yakhe wafunda iisampulu zamatye kunye neefosili kuwo omabini amazwekazi kwaye wathelekisa idatha yejoloji. NgoJanuwari 1912, wacebisa izimvo zakhe malunga nokuhamba kwilizwekazi kwilizwe lezenzululwazi kwaye wenza intetho yakhe kwi-'Geological Association 'eFrankfurt kunye' noMbutho woPhuculo lweNzululwazi yezeNdalo 'eMarberg. Nangona wazisa ubungqina bokuxhasa umbono wakhe, izimvo zakhe zadibana nokugxekwa luluntu lwenzululwazi. Emva kwexesha ngo-1912 waqalisa uhambo lwesibini oluya eGreenland kodwa iqela elincinci lafumana ukutya kwaye kwafuneka balunqumle uhambo lwabo. Ubuyile kunyaka olandelayo waqhubeka nomsebenzi wakhe wokufundisa. Qhubeka nokufunda apha ngezantsi Ngokufika kweMfazwe yeHlabathi yokuQala, wanyuselwa emkhosini waseJamani kwaye ibutho lakhe lajongana nezenzo ezinzima eBelgium. UAlfred wenzakala kaninzi kwaye wakhululwa kwinkonzo esebenzayo kodwa wakhonza kwisebe lezulu lomkhosi. Kwangelo xesha linye waqhubekeka nomsebenzi wakhe kwi-‘Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane ’(‘ Imvelaphi yamazwekazi kunye nolwandlekazi ’) waze wayipapasha le ncwadi ngo-1915. Ebudeni bemfazwe le ngcali yemozulu eyayizimisele yavelisa amaphepha angama-20 enzululwazi; enye yazo kubandakanya nokufunda kwakhe kwiMeteorite yaseTreysa. Ngexesha le-1919-23, wayebandakanyeka kuphando lwencwadi yakhe ethi 'Die Klimate der geologischen Vorzeit' ('Imozulu zeGeological Past'), kunye nencwadi ehlaziyiweyo yencwadi yakhe ethi 'Imvelaphi yamazwekazi kunye nolwandle'. Emva kwemfazwe, u-Wegener wafudukela nosapho lwakhe baya eHamburg xa waye wachongwa njengesixhobo seMeteorologist ngumkhosi wamanzi waseJamani. KwakuseHamburg ngonyaka we-1921 apho wayeqeshwe eYunivesithi njengomhlohli omkhulu. Ngomnyaka ka 1924, i ‘Yunivesithi yase Graz’ yamnika isikhundla sokuba ngunjingalwazi kwezemeteorology. Waqhubeka nokuvavanya uhambo lwesibini lweArctic kwaye wafunda nesayensi yenkanyamba ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yee-1920. Ngo-1929, wakhupha ingxelo yesine ethi ‘Imvelaphi yamazwekazi kunye neelwandlekazi’ kwaye kwakungunyaka omnye awathi wathatha uhambo lwakhe lwesithathu lwenzululwazi eya eArctic. Ngexesha lokhenketho bavavanye ukusebenza kweemoto ezihamba nekhephu eziqhotyoshelwe ngabaphepheli, ukuhambisa. Ngo-1930, u-Wegener wathabatha uhambo lwesine ukuya eGreenland kunye neqela elilungu elinesine. Abanye abaphandi abakhokelwa nguye bafunda imozulu ye-Arctic kwaye balinganisa ubukhulu beqhwa eGreenland. Imisebenzi emikhulu Nangona u-Alfred wenza igalelo elininzi kwilizwe lezenzululwazi kwindima yakhe njenge meteorologist kodwa elona galelo lakhe libalulekileyo yayisisindululo se ‘Continental Drift’ theory. Nangona izimvo zakhe, ukuba la mazwe namhlanje amazwekazi ebeyinxalenye yelizwekazi eliphambili kwaye izihlwele zomhlaba zihamba zisiya kude kwizikhundla zazo zamva nje, ekuqaleni zagxekwa kodwa ekugqibeleni zamkelwa luluntu lwenzululwazi. Ubomi boBuntu kunye neLifa U-Wegener wayetshatele ku-Else Köppen ngo-1913 kwaye esi sibini sasihlala eMarburg neentombi zabo ezimbini uSophie Käte noLotte. Ngexesha lotyelelo lwesine oluya eGreenland ngo-1930, lo mhloli wezenzululwazi owaziwayo wakhokela iqela labemi balishumi elinesithathu baseGreenland kunye nesazi ngemozulu yakhe uFritz Loewe, ukuba babonelele ngesibonelelo kwisikhululo esise-Eismitte sisuka kwisikhululo senkampu yaseNtshona, kwizileyi zenja. Amaqondo obushushu agqithisileyo kuphela ngamalungu amathathu kwiqela leshumi elinesihlanu lasekuqaleni elenziwe kwinkampu ye-Eismitte. Kuhambo lokubuyela kwinkampu yaseNtshona, uWegener wayehamba noRasmus Villumsen; I-duo ibekwe kwizileyi zenja kwaye zisebenzisa izinja ukuzondla kuhambo. I-duo ayizange ilugqibe uhambo kwaye umzimba ka-Wegener wafunyanwa ungcwatywa liqela lokukhangela, nge-12 kaMeyi, ngo-1931, kwindlela eya eNtshona Camp isuka e-Eismitte. Iisikiti zazisetyenziselwa ukwahlula umhlaba wokungcwaba. Kuyabonakala ukuba ingcwaba lakhe lakhiwa nguVillumsen, owathi emva koko waya eNtshona Camp kodwa akaphindanga kuva kwakhona. Ekufeni kukaAlfred, umntakwabo, uKurt Wegener, wenziwa ophetheyo kolu hambo. Isazi esidumileyo se-geophysicist sisibizo sezinto ezahlukeneyo zasezulwini ezibandakanya umngxunya osenyangeni kunye nomnye okwiplanethi kaMars. Usingasiqithi apho ingcwaba lakhe lafunyanwa khona likwabizwa ngegama lale ngcali yezulu idumileyo. 'Imbasa kaAlfred Wegener kunye neLungu eliHloniphekileyo' linikezelwa yi-European Union Geosciences Union 'kwizazinzulu ezenze igalelo elikhethekileyo kwicandelo lomhlaba, isayensi yeplanethi kunye nehydrological. Inqaku UJohn Buchan usekwe kwisiqendu, kuhambo lwe-Wegener lwesine nolokugqibela eGreenlandic, kwinoveli yakhe ethi 'A Prince of the Captivity'
