because they had no way of explaing how the continents could move
they though he was crazy and became his critics
Alfred Wegener
Alfred Wegener was a meteorologist who introduced the theory of continental drift.
Alfred Wegener's full name is "Alfred Lothar Wegener", and he is a German scientist who came up with the theory of Continental Drift.
Alfred Wegener
Harry Hess proposed the theory of seafloor spreading, which provided physical evidence for the movement of the Earth's crust. Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, which lacked a mechanism to explain how continents moved. Hess's theory had more scientific support and evidence, leading to greater acceptance by the scientific community.
Did you mean Plate Tectonics Theory? - Plate Tectonics Theory is the combination of Continental Drift and Ocean/Sea Floor Spreading. BTW. The scientist who started it is Howard Baker continued by Alfred Wegener.

Alfred Wegener is the person normally associated with the theory of plate tectonics.
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.
