Rudolf Wegener

Rudolf Wegener was a prominent geologist and geophysicist known for his research on Earth's structure and tectonics. He contributed to understanding how Earth's plates move and interact, which explains phenomena like earthquakes and mountain formation. Wegener's work helped advance theories about the Earth's dynamic interior, emphasizing the importance of seismic studies and geological mapping. His insights have been fundamental in the development of modern plate tectonics, a key framework for understanding Earth's geological activity and history.
