Plate tectonics grew out of a theory that was first developed in the early 20th century by the meteorologist Alfred Wegener. In 1912, Wegener noticed that the coastlines of the east coast of South America and the west coast of Africa seemed to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
Before the advent of plate tectonics, however, some people already believed that the present-day continents were the fragmented pieces of preexisting larger landmasses ("supercontinents").
Continental drift, which differs somewhat from plate tectonics, was first proposed in 1910 (1911?). While it got the dynamic continents correct, the theory of drift proposed that the land masses plowed through the oceans.It also could not properly define the energy source for the movement of continents. Your curiosity is appreciated but, really, what does it matter what came before plate tectonics? The theory of plate tectonics so thoroughly encompasses the earth's dynamism in a way that previous theories could not. Every previous theory really pales in comparison.

In 1912 Alfred Wegener thought of the theory of plate tectonics. The idea before everyone knew about plate tectonics was that the earth was flat and if you went to the end you would fall off the earth.
