I know I boost a lot, for some people probably too much and I don't have enough followers to make much of a difference, but I live in the hope that through my boosts, I connect people and interests. Maybe that #artist is fascinated by that particular #astronomy post, or maybe I connect a #photographer to this very special #geologist or a #gardener finds a new interest because I boosted a #writer, and so on. So forgive my many boost from all across the interest boards 😅

#Alfred #Wegener (died November 1930 in Greenland) was a #German #geologist, #polarexplorer, and #meteorologist. He is primarily known for his #theory of #continentaldrift, which has significantly influenced modern theories of #platetectonics. Fossil discoveries and similar calving fronts along the west coast of #Africa and the east coast of #SouthAmerica led him to his theory, which is still crucial for understanding the #evolutionaryhistory of life on Earth.
