No, Alfred Wegener's concept can't help you measure. But without it, you
might not have thought there was a need to measure anything. Wegener was the
scientist who proposed in 1912 that the continents used to be all one
supercontinent that broke up and drifted apart. However, it wasn't until
recently that Wegener's theory has been accepted (after he died) and woven into
the modern theory of plate tectonics.
