Why was Alfred Wegners theory not accepted

Answers (1)

best_answer

Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift was not accepted because he claimed that no mechanism for moving of the continent and said that the Earth's spin was sufficient enough for the continents to move.

The geologist of that time claimed this not to be true as the rocks are too strong to be moved by Earth's spin.
