yes he did he explained that the continents fit like a puzzle but the scientist did not believe him because he could not explain "how"
Tidal force and Centrigual Drift
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.
Wegener had no answer to why the plates were moving and how they were moving but they believed Harry Hess when he discovered seafloor spreading
how were the continents formed
Wegener couldn't explain how or why continents moved.
Alfred Wegener
Alfred Wegener was the scientist who discovered that the continents were once joined as one landmass
Alfred Wegener discovered the continents seemed to fit together (Pangaea) in 1915.
he explained it to be because the animals fell in holes and died.
Albert Wegener is a scientist who discovered that the continents move, to form a super continent pangea. His findings weren't proven until after his death.
Alfred Wegener is famous for discovering plate tectonics. Basically, he discovered that plates make up the Earth like jigsaw pieces and these are continents.
Tidal force and Centrigual Drift
Wegener thought the continents moved because they looked on the map as if they were once connected in a "puzzle". He envisioned that the continents moved but the outlines remained.
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.
Alfred Wegener had discovered pangaea in the year of 1912.
Wegener had no answer to why the plates were moving and how they were moving but they believed Harry Hess when he discovered seafloor spreading
Because Alfred Wegener couldn't specify the mechanism responsible for the movement of the continents, the continental drift hypothesis was rejected. This theory is now accepted science.
