In Wegener's view, mountain ranges were formed primarily due to continents colliding. He proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that continents were once joined together in a single landmass (Pangaea) and over time drifted apart. When these continents collided, the immense pressure resulted in the uplift of Earth's crust, leading to the formation of mountain ranges.
