Name of the scientist that came up with the continental drift hypothesis?
Did you mean Plate Tectonics Theory? - Plate Tectonics Theory is the combination of Continental Drift and Ocean/Sea Floor Spreading. BTW. The scientist who started it is Howard Baker continued by Alfred Wegener.
Explain who proposed the continental drift theory?
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift at the beginning of the 20th century. His idea was that the Earth's continents were once joined together, but gradually moved apart over millions of years. The idea was rejected at first as he was a Meteorologist and not regarded as a proper scientist.
Do you believe in Alfred wegeners theory?

Was the theory of Albert Wegener accepted during his lifetime?
No, not until later was this theory proven and supplemented by the theory of plate tectonics.
What College did Alfred Wegener graduate from?
what year did Alfred Wegener graduate college in
Who made fun of Alfred Wegener's Drift Theory?
Alfred wegener's theory of continental drift was not accepted by most of the scientific community in his world.

Why was Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift not accepted in his lifetime?
because they didn't have the proper technology to prove it.
How many scientists accept Alfred wegener's continental drift theory?
Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory has subsequently been honed by scientific discoveries to the more all-inclusive plate tectonic theory which is generally accepted by earth scientists.
Why did people agree with Alfred Wegener's theory after he died?
they finally accepted his theory because scientist tested his theory and found the same conclusion which alfred wegner had already said before he died.

What made the scientific community accept wegener's theory years later?
