Question

4/10
what was a major flaw in wegeners continental drift theory?
inability to explain the force moving the continents
incorrect dating of fossils
misinterpretation of glacial markings
assumption that continents were static

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Wegener's Continental Drift theory provided evidence for continental movement (like fossil and rock matches across continents) but failed to identify a plausible, scientifically accepted mechanism that could generate enough force to move massive continents. The other options are incorrect: he did not misdate fossils, misinterpret glacial markings, or assume continents were static (his core claim was they moved).

Answer:

Inability to explain the force moving the continents
