he lived in California
Alfred wegener's theory of continental drift was not accepted by most of the scientific community in his world.
Alfred Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift not taken seriously
If you mean Alfred Wegener, the meteorologist and explorer, he was born and raised in Berlin, Germany, but lived most of his life in Hamburg,Germany.
He did most of his work at the university of graz.
yes he did barsity university
Alfred Wegener is most like Albert Einstein.Both of their discoveries were rejected.Both of them had hypothesis no one really cared about - no offenseBoth of them became known as one of History's greatest scientist
Wegener failed to specify a possible method by which continents could move around. Most people would not accept his theory because they thought the continents would be ploughing through solid rock.
Weneger was a polar researcher and meteorologist who is most remembered for developing the theory of continental drift which laid the foundation for plate tectonics.
1) Most scientists did not believe Wegener's theory and thought it was foolish.] Some critics thought the old theories of giant land bridges could explain the similarities among fossils in South America and Africa. Others argued that Wegener's theory did not explain the forces that would have been needed to move continents to such great distances. Wegener thought that the forces that moved the continents could be the same forces that made earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Alfred Wegener was a German scientist who was the first one to discover the continental drift. In 1915, Alfred Wegener, suggested that about 300 million years ago all of Earth's land masses, which were in constant motion, collided to form one supercontinent. He called it Pangaea , which means " all land". About 200 million years ago, the supercontinent of Pangaea started to break up. The pieces drifted in different directions to their present positions. Wegener had 4 proofs for his theory of continental drift. Most scientists did not accept the theory because Wegener could not explain what force was powerful enough to move continents. Wegener tried to prove his theory: He saw the jigsaw fit between South America and Africa. He found fossils of the same plants and animals on both continents. He believed that they exist in both places only if the continents were once joined together. It was not until the 1960's that the technology existed to develop Wegener's theory further. By 1968, a new and more complete theory known as plate tectonics had been developed.
Alfred Nobel dedicated his life to inventing and promoting explosives, most notably the invention of dynamite. He also established the Nobel Prizes, which honor achievements in science, literature, and peace.
