Because he didnt have enough "scientific" eviedence
Because wegner didnt have proof to show what caused mountains.
Scientists in 1915 did not accept Alfred Wegener's idea of continental drift because he lacked a plausible mechanism for how the continents could move. Additionally, Wegener's ideas were seen as radical and went against the prevailing scientific beliefs of the time, so there was resistance to accepting his theory without more concrete evidence. The technology available at the time also did not provide the necessary tools to support Wegener's hypothesis.
Other scientists rejected Alfred Wegener's hypothesis of a supercontinent that broke apart, known as "continental drift," because Wegener did not provide a plausible mechanism for how the continents could move. Additionally, his hypothesis was seen as radical and went against the prevailing scientific beliefs of the time. It was not until the discovery of plate tectonics in the 1960s that Wegener's ideas gained more widespread acceptance.
Many scientists dismissed the theory because it flew in the face of conventional wisdom.
Many scientists initially rejected the hypothesis of continental drift because there was a lack of a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move. Additionally, the idea went against established scientific beliefs at the time and was considered too radical. It was not until the development of the theory of plate tectonics that continental drift was more widely accepted in the scientific community.
Alfred Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift was not taken seriously by most geologists because he lacked a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move. Additionally, the idea was considered radical at the time and went against the prevailing scientific beliefs. It wasn't until the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s that Wegener's ideas gained widespread acceptance.
Test your hypothesis against the data
A hypothesis can be supported by checking it against your research to see if it is true, checking it against research done by others, and testing your hypothesis rapidity.
Test your hypothesis against the available data
Wegener's ideas about continental drift were initially not believed because he lacked a plausible mechanism to explain how the continents could move. Additionally, his theory went against the prevailing scientific consensus of the time, which held that the ocean floor was too rigid to allow for such movement. It wasn't until the discovery of seafloor spreading and plate tectonics that Wegener's ideas gained wider acceptance.
A statistical hypothesis is anything that can be tested against observations. So the hypothesis can be that you can remember two numbers.
An army established by the Continental Congress to fight against Great Britain.
