Alfred Wegeners 1912 theory of Plate tectonics and continental drift.
One day while scientists were exploring the sea floor, they discovered sea-floor spreading, thus proving Wegener's hypothesis to be correct.
continental drift
Alfred Wegener proposed that tidal forces could cause continental drift as part of his broader theory of continental drift, which suggested that continents were once joined in a supercontinent called Pangaea. He believed that gravitational interactions with the moon and sun could exert enough force to shift continents over geological time. However, this idea lacked sufficient scientific backing and was unable to explain the mechanisms behind the movement of tectonic plates, which are now understood through the theory of plate tectonics. Ultimately, Wegener's hypothesis was overshadowed by more robust explanations involving mantle convection and plate boundaries.
why did other scientist not accpet Alfred Wegeners theory
no
Alfred Lothar Wegener
Anna Wegener
He was born in Berlin.
Alfred Wegener's supercontinent is called Pangaea.
Fossils support his hypothesis.
His evidence was incorrect.
because it just is
Alfred Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift was met with significant skepticism and resistance from many in the scientific community during his time. Critics argued that he lacked a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move, leading to widespread dismissal of his ideas. However, over time, as more evidence emerged and the theory of plate tectonics developed, Wegener's hypothesis gained acceptance and is now recognized as a foundational concept in geology.
The scientific means for proving his hypothesis had not yet been developed.
