Alfred's hypothesis was that all the continents was a big land mass which he called Pangaea because if you see a world map it is like a jigsaw puzzle and other evidence is that some animal fossils were on other continents and also the same rock range was found on different continents. This hypothesis is known as continental drift.

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.

plate tectonics
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that continents were once joined together in a single supercontinent called Pangaea. Over time, the supercontinent broke apart and the continents drifted to their current positions, explaining why they seem to fit together like pieces of a puzzle.

Alfred Wegener.
His hypothesis of continental drift
Which type of evidence was NOT used by Alfred Wegener to support his continental drift hypothesis human remains
Alfred Wegener couldn't describe how the plate tectonics moved. So, scientists rejected his hypothesis.
