I think they were also too skeptic to believe the continent did move or pull apart, even today do you believe that the continents broke from one big flat plate, and that they pulled apart? They also wonder what large force would be responsible for the movement.

It was much later that evidences from plant and animal features that had similarity from two different planets came up that scientists began accepting the idea of continental drift.
And similar rock strata from two different opposite continents, showed similar rock strata.
All these evidences came up much later after Alfred Wengener.

So Alfred Wengener was honored Posthumously

Answer:

Alfred Wegener’s hypothesis of continental drift was not widely accepted because;

He could not explain what mechanism caused the plates to move

I don’t have a good explanation, but this is the right answer and i suggest studying more about plate tectonics and Alfred Wegener so in the future you won’t have to look questions up. have a nice day :)
