For 10 points, identify this theory proposed by Alfred Wegener in which the Earth's continents move relative to each other.
A since-discredited hypothesis of Archie Carr used this theory to explain the migration of the green sea turtle from Brazil to Ascension Island. The concentration of the Megascolecidae family of earthworms was used to support this theory. The major animal fossils that were analyzed to support this theory belonged to Mesosaurus, Cynognathus, and Lystrosaurus. An early supporter of this theory, Alexander du Toit, presented evidence for it based on the (*) distribution of tillite overlaid by coal beds overlaid by basaltic flows. Those coal beds often contained Glossopteris fossils, which had extremely large seeds - preventing their dispersal by sea or air. This theory was built on to develop plate tectonics.
