What was Copemicus's theory about the solar system?
Copemicus' theory was that earth is not the center of the universe, but that the sun is. He wrote a whole book on how the universe changed and about the earth, moon and planets travelling around the solar system. His books were banned by the Pope as this idea was different to what the Church (ignorantly) asserted. Finally another scientist proved that Copemicus' theory made more sense. The theory was finally acknowledged as being more true by the Church much later.

Why was Alfred wegener theory rejected in the early 1900s?

Yes he did he combined Henry Hess's theory and made the plate tectonic theory
What was one question that Alfred wegener could not answer?
One major question Alfred Wegener could not answer about his continental drift theory was how or what force made the continents move.
What made the scientific community accept wegener's theory years later?
Alfred Wegener was the proponent of the Continental Drift Theory. The scientific community accepted this theory due to the phenomena of paleomagnetism, sea floor spreading and plate tectonics.
Who came up with continental drift?
Alfred Wegner made the theory of continental drift and he proved his theory was right and he was right because back then the seven continents were were like one big continent until Wegner new that the continents were drifting apart. He had prove and his prove was that the seven continent were like a jigsaw puzzle, and that the remains of crocodiles and other rare animals were found in America and Africa. Although it has to be said it doesnt take a genius to note the continents were once joined judging by their shape, and that children have been noting this for years CHILDREN!
What does NOT support the continental drift theory?
they couldn't agree on how it separated or what made it separate.
Who was the person that that made a hypothesis of continental drift?
It was Alfred Wegener but other scientists did not believe him but he found evidence
What is seafloor spreading that ''helps'' the theory of continental drift?
How seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift is that wegener couldn't explain why and waht force caused the continents to move and so seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift because it shows the force that made the continents move and that was te only thing that wagener needed to prove his theory of continental drift............thanks
Who made a theory fo pangaea?

How did wegner stummble upon the matching continents that formed pangaea?
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of Pangaea by observing how certain continents seemed to fit together like puzzle pieces, noticing similarities in rock formations and fossils on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. This led him to suggest that the continents were once connected as a single landmass before drifting apart.
