It was not excepted because they didn't believe him at all until it was proven!
yes it does.
There was no evidence to prove it
Alfred Wegeners 1912 theory of Plate tectonics and continental drift.
kantot
There was no visual proof
In the mid 20th century
plate tectonics
His evidence was incorrect.
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
One weakness of Wegener's proposal of continental drift was the lack of a mechanism to explain how continents could move. Additionally, Wegener's theory was not widely accepted at the time due to insufficient supporting evidence and the reluctance of the scientific community to accept such a radical idea.
lol
German scientist Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912, but it was not widely accepted until the 1950s.
