Why did most scientists originally reject the theory of continental drift?
Most scientists originally reject the theory of continental drift since it did clearly explain continents would move. This is a theory that has been established by Wegener and did not get good support initially.
Where the idea of plate tectonics came from?
this is easy! I LEARNED IT IN SCIENCE! WERGNER DICOVERED IT. WEGNERS EARLIER THEORY OF CONTINENTAL DRIFT WAS REEXAMMINED AND A NEW THEORY WAS BORN ............................ THE THEORY OF PLATE TECTONICS
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 was Alfred Wegners continental drift theory ignored?
Alfred Wegner's continental drift theory was ignored because he didn't have enough proof to show everyone that tectonic plates were moving. The supercontinent Pangaea sounded like a big fantasy to everyone back then.
What was the major problem with wegners theory of continental drift?
The main problem with Wegners theory of continental drift was that at the time he proposed it he had no real proof.
Did scientists reject the theory of continental drift because the theory failed to explain why rocks on different continents looked the same?
yes
Why scientists rejected wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
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.
What was Wegners major contribution to scientific knowledge?
Wegner was the man who established the theory of "continental drift" in 1912

What might cause scienctists to reject a popular theory?
Scientists treat all theories the same way, popular or not. They will reject any theory if evidence appears which contradicts it.
