Wegener’s theory of continental drift seems so reasonable today. Why was it rejected during the early 20th century?

In his original hypothesis, Wegener did not reasonably explain how was the mechanism by which the continents moved.

Explanation:

Hello!

Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912.  In this theory, Wegener explained that the continental masses move slowly, but continuously.

Originally, although Wegener convincingly founded the fact that the continents are moving, he could not prove how they do it.

Currently, Wegener's theory is considered a precursor to the theory of plate tectonics, which was formulated in 1960.

- "the past is made of multitudinous items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. as such, the past is a gallimaufry of particulars that may not have been related in any way. however, the human mind seeks organization to understand concepts and other things. the human mind therefore seeks relationships in explaining and studying the past. history being a humanity, dictates that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. historians do this by creating interpretive frameworks that capture as many details as possible."
