Alfred Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift was not widely accepted because
he could not provide evidence to support his claim
the puzzle fit was his only evidence and scientists thought it was a coincidence
he could not explain what mechanism caused the plates to move
he claimed continents drifted on the oceans
