Why do you think people didn't believe continental drift?

If you ask me it's because they wer a bunch of arogant "scientists" who didn't have a clue what they were talking about and hated being wrong. Just like with Galileo. They could have been scarred to accept things like that. I don't believe in it though... :) De Nada


What observation first led to wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?

The match of the coasts of the continents of South America, and of Africa have been noted from very old times. The discovery of fossils which spanned across current oceans (the south Atlantic for example) indicated that there had been earlier arrangements. Fossil magnetism of the rocks was another clue. Some earlier continental assembly arrangements are called Rodina, and Columbia - our present one is Pangaea.
