Wegener's theory of continental drift faced several weaknesses, primarily the lack of a convincing mechanism for how continents could move across the Earth's surface, as he proposed they drifted through the oceanic crust. Additionally, his ideas were met with skepticism due to the limited geological evidence at the time, and many scientists favored the then-accepted static Earth model. Furthermore, Wegener could not adequately explain the geological and fossil similarities between continents, which later required the development of plate tectonics to provide a more comprehensive understanding.

How did Hess's hypothesis address the major weaknesses of Wegener's theory?
Hess's hypothesis of seafloor spreading provided a mechanism for continental drift, explaining how and why continents moved apart. It also incorporated evidence from oceanic crust age, magnetic striping, and sea-floor topography, filling the gaps in Wegener's original theory. This new explanation laid the foundation for the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
