20
Why was Alfred Wegener's theory originally rejected by scientific peers?
He had no evidence.
He couldn't explain how the continents moved.
His theory didn't make any sense.
They already knew the continents could not move.

Harry Hess
Alfred Wegener
Albert Einstein
Jane Goodall

irregular
convergent
divergent
transform
