One day while scientists were exploring the sea floor, they discovered sea-floor spreading, thus proving Wegener's hypothesis to be correct.
Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift was not widely accepted at the time it was proposed in the early 20th century because he lacked a valid mechanism to explain how the continents moved. Additionally, his ideas were contrary to the prevailing scientific beliefs of the time, and he faced significant opposition from geologists who could not reconcile his theory with the existing geological knowledge. It wasn't until the mid-20th century, with the development of the theory of plate tectonics, that Wegener's ideas gained widespread acceptance.
Alfred Wegeners 1912 theory of Plate tectonics and continental drift.
Wegener's theory of continental drift was different because it proposed that continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea and drifted apart over time. This was a radical idea at the time as it challenged the established belief of stationary continents. Wegener lacked a plausible mechanism to explain how continents moved, which led to skepticism from the scientific community until the development of plate tectonics theory.
Scientists in 1915 did not accept Alfred Wegener's idea of continental drift because he lacked a plausible mechanism for how the continents could move. Additionally, Wegener's ideas were seen as radical and went against the prevailing scientific beliefs of the time, so there was resistance to accepting his theory without more concrete evidence. The technology available at the time also did not provide the necessary tools to support Wegener's hypothesis.
His evidence was incorrect.

It was not excepted because they didn't believe him at all until it was proven!
yes because they didnt know how wegners inteligence was and they should have tried it in the firts place anyway it would have helped relize that his hypothesis waas correct when they dobt of him!

Fossils support his hypothesis.
yes it does.
The scientific means for proving his hypothesis had not yet been developed.
There was no evidence to prove it
