Alfred Wegener did not have access to evidence such as the mechanism of plate tectonics, detailed mapping of mid-ocean ridges, and advanced technology like GPS and satellite imagery that provide support for the movement of continents. Additionally, he lacked a comprehensive understanding of the Earth's deep interior structure and the driving forces behind continental drift.

How many people passed?
I do not have access to specific data on how many people passed. The number of people who passed would depend on the context, such as the exam, test, or other criteria being considered.

How many kids did Alfred wegener have?
Alfred Wegner had didnt have any kids because his wife wanted to but soon after they made a confirmation, Alfred Wegner died of heart failure.
What did people think about Alfred wegener's theory?
Wegener's theory of continental drift was met with skepticism when first proposed in the early 20th century. Many scientists rejected it because he lacked a plausible mechanism for how continents could move. It wasn't until the discovery of plate tectonics in the 1960s that Wegener's ideas gained widespread acceptance.
Why do you think people didnt believ his continental drift theory when wagener first explained it?
People initially did not believe Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory because he lacked a mechanism to explain how continents could move across the Earth's surface. Additionally, there was insufficient evidence at the time to support his theory. It was not until the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s that Wegener's ideas gained widespread acceptance.
What was Alfred Wegner's theory and why was it rejected?
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that Earth's continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangea and have since drifted apart. His theory was rejected because he could not provide a plausible mechanism for how the continents could move across the ocean floor. It was not until the discovery of plate tectonics that Wegener's ideas were accepted and incorporated into the scientific understanding of Earth's geology.
Why did scientists argue against Wegener's continental drift hypothesis?
Because he didnt have enough "scientific" eviedence
What was Alfred stormalongs names?
He didnt have any other names alfred stormalong was h i9s actual name.
What did wegener hypothesis happened to the continents?
Alfred Wegener hypothesized that the continents were once connected in a single supercontinent called Pangaea. He suggested that the continents drifted apart over millions of years due to the process of continental drift.

Why was Wegeners hypothesis rejected by most scientists of his day?
Wegener made a strong case for continental drift as you may know. E.g. similar rock strata on opposing continents, similar fossil types located in geographically distant regions, evidence of glaciation and the general jig-saw fit of the continents. He could not explain however how the continents moved, that is, what force was acting on them and causing them to drift. He suggested that a combination of centrifugal force from the Earth's rotation and gravitational forces from objects in space (similar to what causes tides) moved the continents. Calculations proved this to be impossible. Since he could not explain the mechanism because little about plate tectonics was known at the time, his ideas were not widely accepted in the scientific community.
