They rejected it because from the calculated strength of the rocks, it did not seem possible for the crust to move in this way. They began to realize that when they tried to put the continents together, they had fit! They then realize Weagener's theory was accurate

Is the critical region the values of the test statistics for which the null hypothesis will reject?

The null hypothesis will not reject - it is a hypothesis and is not capable of rejecting anything. The critical region consists of the values of the test statistic where YOU will reject the null hypothesis in favour of the expressed alternative hypothesis.

Difference between acceptance and rejection region?

Some researchers say that a hypothesis test can have one of two outcomes: you accept the null hypothesis or you reject the null hypothesis. Many statisticians, however, take issue with the notion of "accepting the null hypothesis." Instead, they say: you reject the null hypothesis or you fail to reject the null hypothesis. Why the distinction between "acceptance" and "failure to reject?" Acceptance implies that the null hypothesis is true. Failure to reject implies that the data are not sufficiently persuasive for us to prefer the alternative hypothesis over the null hypothesis.


At first many scientists rejected Wegener and the hypothesis of continental drift. What was their main objection to his hypothesis?

The main objection to Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift was the lack of a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move. Wegener's idea of continents plowing through solid oceanic crust was not supported by scientific knowledge at that time, leading many scientists to reject his hypothesis.
