Question

Which prevented many geologists from accepting Wegener’s theory of continental drift?

A.
Wegener could not explain how similar geological features could be continued from one continent to another.

B.
Wegener could not explain how the continents could move through the seafloor.

C.
Wegener could not explain how the continents in the Northern Hemisphere fit together.

D.
Wegener could not explain how similar fossils could be found on different continents.

Answer 1

The main problem with Wegener's hypothesis of Continental Drift was the lack of a mechanism. He did not have an explanation for how the continents moved. Some argue that this failing justified the early reactions to his work and to its dismissal.

So A :D
