Why was wegeners
hypothesis for continental drift rejected ?

Alfred Wegener suggested the Continental Drift Theory. However, this idea was dismissed by scientists. Continental Drift Theory states that all continents were once joined together then they drifted away from each other. It was backed by maps which showed that if continents were pulled close together would fit each other perfectly, just like in a puzzle. However scientists from different fields resisted the idea and accused Wegener of not being an expert of science. The strongest reason of the rejection, however, was that Wegener could not explain how continental drift happened.
