I think why Alfred Wegner's idea about continental drift was rejected because every body else thought the continents stayed in the same place.

Anthony E said...

I think they were rejected first because people didn't think it was possible that the continents could drift, and he had no evidence that the continents had drifted.

Grace D said...

His ideas where rejected because back then anything that made sense was rejected they also thought that he had no proof they would not believe him.

The reason why Alfred Wenger's ideas were turned down because a lot of people thought he was crazy, but then later on they figured out that he was right.

Ryan M said...

Because other people didn't believe in continental drift.

Tayte said...

The reason they got rejected is because he had no evidence.

Alfred Wenger's ideas wear first rejected because no one ever thought that he was right because he was a weather man not a scientist. Everyone thought that he wasn't right but when he had some evidence everyone thought that he was brilliant.

Alfred Wegener was the scientist who proposed the Continental Drift Theory in the early twentieth century. Simply put, his hypothesis proposed that the continents had once been joined, and over time had drifted apart. The jigsaw fit that the continents make with each other.

Alfred Wegner's ideas were originally discouraged because even though Alfred had all of the evidence of the continental drift, he didn't really know why they moved.
