What did people think about Alfred wegener's theory?
some people didnt believe alfred wegener because he didnt have all the info the scientist wanted. like if they asked him a question about his theory on pangea and he didnt know then how could he have the evidence on the continental drift so yeah if they asked him a question he wouldnt know and thats what my collage teacher said but im now in university and not studing that so :)

What did wegener hypothesis happened to the continents?
Alfred Wegner believed that continents moved because of earth's plates shifting. Because he could not prove why they moved because of the day in age he live, most scientist didn't believe him. Now, with the science we have today, scientists have proved that our continents shift about 2cm a year.

Why was Wegeners hypothesis rejected by most scientists of his day?
Wegener made a strong case for continental drift as you may know. E.g. similar rock strata on opposing continents, similar fossil types located in geographically distant regions, evidence of glaciation and the general jig-saw fit of the continents. He could not explain however how the continents moved, that is, what force was acting on them and causing them to drift. He suggested that a combination of centrifugal force from the Earth's rotation and gravitational forces from objects in space (similar to what causes tides) moved the continents. Calculations proved this to be impossible. Since he could not explain the mechanism because little about plate tectonics was known at the time, his ideas were not widely accepted in the scientific community.
