because he had no evidence that the plates had moved so nobody belevied him
What else can I help you with?
Why did scientists reject Wagner's ides?
Perhaps you meant "Wegener's ideas".
Why did most scientists reject Wegener's theory for hat for nearly a half century?
Most scientists rejected Wegener's theory of continental drift because he lacked a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move. Additionally, his theory did not align with the dominant geological beliefs of the time, and there was a lack of concrete evidence to support his ideas. It was only with the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s that Wegener's ideas gained widespread acceptance.
Why was Wegener's hypothesis reject?
Alfred Wegener couldn't describe how the plate tectonics moved. So, scientists rejected his hypothesis.
Why did most scientists originally reject the theory of continental drift?
Most scientists originally reject the theory of continental drift since it did clearly explain continents would move. This is a theory that has been established by Wegener and did not get good support initially.
Who were the two scientists that brought forth supporting evidence to wegener's theory?
me and your mom
Which scientists proposed the first formal theory of continental drift?
Alfred Wegener
Why did most scientists reject wegener theory for nearly a half century?
Most scientists rejected Wegener's theory of continental drift for nearly half a century because he lacked a plausible mechanism to explain how continents moved. Additionally, his ideas went against existing geological beliefs at the time, and he faced strong opposition from influential geologists who defended the prevailing theory of stationary continents. It wasn't until the development of the theory of plate tectonics, which provided a mechanism for the movement of continents, that Wegener's ideas gained widespread acceptance.

How many scientists accept Alfred wegener's continental drift theory?
Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory has subsequently been honed by scientific discoveries to the more all-inclusive plate tectonic theory which is generally accepted by earth scientists.
What might cause scientists to reject a popular theory?

What might cause scienctists to reject a popular theory?
Scientists treat all theories the same way, popular or not. They will reject any theory if evidence appears which contradicts it.
Why did most scientists reject Weakener's of continental drift?
Most scientists rejected Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift in the early 20th century because he did not provide a convincing mechanism to explain how continents could move. Additionally, Wegener's idea went against prevailing scientific beliefs at the time, and there was limited geological evidence to support his theory. It wasn't until the development of plate tectonics in the 1960s that Wegener's ideas were widely accepted.
