List three arguments of geologists that disproved Wegener's theory?

Answer 1

1. the plates don't move the way he says 2. the plates don't fit together the way he says 3. Wegner was younger then most scientists

Answer 2

First,they argued that he was not a geologist,thus they despised him.they also said that he did not explain the forces responsible for drifting of the continent.and again they base their argument on the fact that wegener argued that rotation of the earth was responsible.

Answer 3

1. Lack of a mechanism: Geologists initially argued that Wegener's theory lacked a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move across the ocean floor.
2. Insufficient evidence: There were doubts about the quality and quantity of evidence Wegener presented to support his theory of continental drift.
3. Geological objections: Geologists pointed to apparent differences in rock types and structures between continents as evidence against Wegener's idea of a once-unified supercontinent.

Answer 4

The other scientists thought that the plates didn't move the way he says, the plate didn't fit together, and that Wegner was younger than them therefore considering him "stupid" in a way.

Answer 5

Cats are large. There is no evidence of how the plates move. Ice.

Answer 6

I only know 1 reason why geologists disapproved his theory. It was because he couldn't provide a satisfactory explanation of the push or pull of the continents.

Answer 7

1.the plates don"t move the way he says 2. the plates don't fit together the way he says 3. Wegener was younger then most scientist
