They now think that the continents are moving because of tectonic plates and how they move, or drift, apart.
They think a possible cause of continental drift is because of seafloor spreading and the water currents below the continents. +++ You are sort of on the right track, but not near enough to have helped the 9 people Answers had already counted! Sea-floor spreading is part of continental drift, and the currents are not in water, but in the viscous rock Mantle.
continental drift
No, the Earth's magnetic poles are not responsible for continental drift. Continental drift is primarily driven by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's lithosphere. The Earth's magnetic field does play a role in plate tectonics through magnetic stripes on the ocean floor, but it is not the primary cause of continental drift.
Because he was trying to get everybody to listen to him but they didnt want to you welcome i just answered the question for ya;; lol $hit
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory

wegener a german scientist
A German scientist Alfred Wegener first proposed the idea of Continental Drift.
Alfred Has Been Working On The Contintal Drift For A Long Time And Scientist Are Stilll Trying To Prove The Continental Drift. So The Continental Drift Is His First Discovery...,(:.!? --- Jocelyn !!
Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist and geophysicist, proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912. He suggested that thermal convection currents in the mantle cause the movement of continents over time.
Auther Holmes is the Scientist who first proposed that theral convection in the mantle causes continental drift.
Alfred Wegner
Scientist rejected Wegners hypothesis of continental drift at first because he did not have enogh evidence to support his theory. He failed to provide a suitable mechanism that could cause the continents to move.
they what?
Alfred Wegener.
Sea-floor spreading
it is caused by conviction
