Scientist rejected Wegners hypothesis of continental drift at first because he did not have enogh evidence to support his theory. He failed to provide a suitable mechanism that could cause the continents to move.
What else can I help you with?
What was the reason wegeners continental drift hypothesis was rejected?
His evidence was incorrect.
What discovery led scientists to accept Wegeners continental drift hypothesis?
One day while scientists were exploring the sea floor, they discovered sea-floor spreading, thus proving Wegener's hypothesis to be correct.
Why most geologists rejected Alfred wegeners idea of continental drift?
dont ask me freak
Why were most scientists disagreeing with Alfred Wegeners continental drift theory?
There was no evidence to prove it
Wegeners hypothesis of continental drift was finally confirmed by?
evidence supporting the idea of sea-floor spreading.
What was the main reason wegeners continental drift was rejected?
He could not provide a wholly acceptable explanation for the movement of the continents.
Wegeners hypothesis of continental drift was replaced in 1967 by which theory that supported his idea continents move?
plate tectonics
What were the flaws in wegeners hypothesis that made people reject it?
Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift was largely rejected due to a lack of a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move across the Earth's surface. He proposed that continents plowed through the oceanic crust, which seemed implausible to many scientists. Additionally, his ideas conflicted with the prevailing theories of the time, such as land bridges and static continents. The discovery of plate tectonics in the 1960s eventually provided the necessary mechanisms for continental movement, validating Wegener's ideas long after their initial rejection.
The scientists of wegeners time should have accepted his hypothesis why or why not?
yes because they didnt know how wegners inteligence was and they should have tried it in the firts place anyway it would have helped relize that his hypothesis waas correct when they dobt of him!

What evidence did Wegeners have to support his theory?
Fossils support his hypothesis.
Why did other scientists not accept Alfred Wegeners theory?
why did other scientist not accpet Alfred Wegeners theory
