Continental drift was not widely accepted when it was first proposed because

• Mantle convection currents weren’t in motion at that time.

• Continental landmasses were too big to move slowly over Earth’s surface.

• Magnetic and sonar data proved that Wegener’s hypothesis was incorrect.

• Alfred Wegener couldn’t explain why or how the continents moved.
