Question

which statement best describes why the theory of continental drift was not accepted by wegners peers in 1912? (1 point) there was no evidence at the time to support the claim pangea did not exist as a single landmass on earth wegner could not explain how or why the continents moved rift zones form at convergent plate boundaries

Explanation:

Answer:

Wegner could not explain how or why the continents moved
