What else can I help you with?
What discovery led scientists to accept Wegeners continental drift hypothesis?
One day while scientists were exploring the sea floor, they discovered sea-floor spreading, thus proving Wegener's hypothesis to be correct.
What is the theory that plates have moved apart over tmie?
Alfred Wegeners 1912 theory of Plate tectonics and continental drift.
Which Scientists observations eventually led to the theory of continental drift?
10
Which scientists proposed the first formal theory of continental drift?
Alfred Wegener
Why were other scientists unwilling to accept Wegner's ideas?
One reason the scientific community doubted him was because he wasn't able to come up with an explanation for how the continents were moving, & where the force to move them was coming from.
Why were most scientists disagreeing with Alfred Wegeners continental drift theory?
There was no evidence to prove it
What discovery led scientists to accept Wegeners continental drift hypothesis?
One day while scientists were exploring the sea floor, they discovered sea-floor spreading, thus proving Wegener's hypothesis to be correct.
Does the case of mesosaurus support wegeners theory of continental drift?
yes it does.
What was the reason wegeners continental drift hypothesis was rejected?
His evidence was incorrect.
What was the name of Alfred wegeners idea?
Plate tectonics, which refers to the concept of continental drift.
Why most geologists rejected Alfred wegeners idea of continental drift?
dont ask me freak
Wegeners hypothesis of continental drift was finally confirmed by?
evidence supporting the idea of sea-floor spreading.
Why didn't scientists believe Alfred wegeners theory abotu contintal drift?
because he was a fat battyboy
Wegeners hypothesis of continental drift was replaced in 1967 by which theory that supported his idea continents move?
plate tectonics
What was the main reason wegeners continental drift was rejected?
He could not provide a wholly acceptable explanation for the movement of the continents.
Why was wegeners theory of continental drift not accepted at first?
It was not excepted because they didn't believe him at all until it was proven!
What discovery caused scientists to rethink wegeners continental drift theory?
The discovery of mid-ocean ridges and the process of seafloor spreading in the 1960s caused scientists to rethink Wegener's theory of continental drift. This new evidence provided a mechanism for how continents could move apart and lent support to the concept of plate tectonics as the driving force behind the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates.
