why did other scientists reject the continental drift hypothesis?
earths rotation cannot make continents move.
continents cannot push through the seafloor without causing fractures.
new rock cannot be created at mid - ocean ridges.

Explanation:

• Earth's rotation cannot make continents move: Earth's rotation is too weak to cause continental movement.
• Continents cannot push through the seafloor without causing fractures: The seafloor is too rigid for continents to push through without significant force.
• New rock cannot be created at mid - ocean ridges is incorrect as new rock is formed at mid - ocean ridges through volcanic activity.

Answer:

Earth's rotation cannot make continents move, Continents cannot push through the seafloor without causing fractures.
