Why did scientists reject wegners theory of continental drift?

Why did scientists in 1915 not accept wegeners idea of continental drift?
people in 1915 thought that he was crazy, and back theen they didn't have the technology to support Wegner's idea.
What do scientists believe explains the increased density of material deeper into the mantle?

One reason the scientific community doubted him was because he wasn't able to come up with an explanation for how the continents were moving, & where the force to move them was coming from.

I believe Alfred Wegner
Why did people not believe Alfred Wegner about Pangaea?
Alfred Wegener's theory of Pangaea was met with skepticism because he lacked a mechanism to explain how the continents could move. Additionally, the scientific community at the time favored the theory of fixed continents and seafloor spreading had not been discovered yet to support continental drift. Wegener's lack of expertise in geology and his presentation of the theory in non-scientific publications also contributed to the disbelief.
What is it called when the continents once formed a huge supercontinent?
Many million years ago, the huge supercontinent theory was proposed by one man named Alfred Wegner. He explained the theory of continental drift which lead to the supercontinent called Pangea. Another man named John Tuzo Wilson proposed to theory of plate tectonics which helped scientists to believe Wegner's ideas. Together Wilson and Wegner proposed Pangea. Later on, it was split into two other smaller continents called Laurasia and Gondwanaland.
