Why do you think people didn't believe continental drift theory when Wegener explained it?

One reason people didn't initially believe Wegener's continental drift theory was the lack of a mechanism to explain how continents could move. The theory was also considered radical and contradicted the established belief that continents were fixed in place. Additionally, Wegener's evidence, while compelling, was not widely accepted at the time due to the limited understanding of plate tectonics.


Who developed the model of the hydrogen atom?

In a sense Niels Bohr did by introducing different orbits in which electrons spin around the nucleus. Bohr argued that each electron has a certain fixed amount of energy, which corresponds to its fixed orbit. Therefore, when an electron absorbs energy, it jumps to the next higher orbit rather than moving continuously between orbits. The characteristic of electrons having fixed energy quantities (quanta) is also known as the quantum theory of the atom.


Key ideas of the Theory of Continental Drift?
