12
Who was the scientist that developed the theory of Continental Drift?
Alfred Wegener
Albert Einstein

13
Why was Alfred Wegener's theory originally rejected by scientific peers?
They already knew the continents could not move.
He couldn't explain how the continents moved.
His theory didn't make any sense.
He had no evidence.
