Most scientists at the time rejected Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift because he
had collected little evidence to support his hypothesis
would not state his hypothesis publicly
insisted that Earth's axis of rotation had changed
couldn't explain how or why the continents moved

swam great distances between continents
probably did not cross the oceans
once lived in Earth's oceans
ate plankton
