Alexander Du Toit contributed to the evidence put forth by the main proponent of this hypothesis. First observed by Abraham Ortelius, it was later poorly explained by a centrifugal pseudo-force. Specimens of Lystrosaurus and Mesosaurus provide evidence for it, as do widespread permo-carboniferous glacial sediments. Incorrect explanations for this include increased lunar gravity during the Cretaceous and the expanding earth theory, but it is more accurately justified by plate tectonics. For 10 points, name this term for the movement of large landmasses advanced by Alfred Wegener.
