Alfred Wegener
The theory of seafloor spreading was proposed by Harry Hess, a geologist and Navy officer, in the early 1960s. He proposed that new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and then spreads outward. This theory helped to explain the mechanism behind continental drift and plate tectonics.
Alfred Wegener
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
Most scientists originally rejected the theory of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener because he didn't provide a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could drift. Additionally, Wegener was a meteorologist, not a geologist, so many geologists at the time didn't take his ideas seriously. It wasn't until the development of plate tectonics in the 1960s that the evidence for continental drift became widely accepted in the scientific community.
yes becouse wenger is not geologist and he could not explain the how continental drift theory
Alfred Wegener was a polar researcher from Germany. He was also a meteorologist and geologist. He proposed the theory of continental drift, and that the continents slowly drift around the earth on a lake of magma.
The main problem with Wegners theory of continental drift was that at the time he proposed it he had no real proof.

Arthur Holmes who is a geologist.
German scientist Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912, but it was not widely accepted until the 1950s.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of Continental Drift in 1912.
The theory of continental drift and plate tectonics
Alfred Wegener
Wegener proposed the theory of Pangea (the supercontinent) and continental drift. Continental drift is what split Pangea apart.
The idea of continental drift was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. Wegener's theory suggested that the continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea and had drifted apart over time.
A German scientist Alfred Wegener first proposed the idea of Continental Drift.
