Lack of evidence
Alfred Wegener
Harry Hess proposed the theory of seafloor spreading, which provided physical evidence for the movement of the Earth's crust. Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, which lacked a mechanism to explain how continents moved. Hess's theory had more scientific support and evidence, leading to greater acceptance by the scientific community.
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.

No. The vast majority of geologists rejected Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift. it was not until more than 25 years after Wegener's death that the scientific community began to accept plate tectonics.
Alfred Wegener was a meteorologist who introduced the theory of continental drift.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of Continental Drift in 1912.

Alfred Wegener's full name is "Alfred Lothar Wegener", and he is a German scientist who came up with the theory of Continental Drift.
Alfred Wegener died during a scientific expedition to Greenland in 1930. He likely died of a heart attack while out in the field. His death was a tragic loss to the scientific community, as he was a pioneer in the development of the theory of continental drift.
It was Alfred Wegener but other scientists did not believe him but he found evidence
Did you mean Plate Tectonics Theory? - Plate Tectonics Theory is the combination of Continental Drift and Ocean/Sea Floor Spreading. BTW. The scientist who started it is Howard Baker continued by Alfred Wegener.
Alfred Wegener studied volcanoes. He was a German scientist who proposed the idea of the continental drift.
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.
