why did geologists reject alfred wegeners ideas?
○ wegener could not explain the process(es) of why continents moved.
○ \all of the other answers are correct, and thus this is the best answer.\
○ they did not like the idea of a meteorologist telling them how geology worked.
○ \the notion of moving continents was just too strange. in their mind, geologists were fixated with the belief in immobile continents.\

Explanation:

For Question 1: The Andes formed where the dense oceanic Nazca Plate subducts beneath the continental South American Plate, a continent-ocean convergent boundary.
For Question 2: Geologists rejected Wegener for multiple reasons: he lacked a mechanism for continental movement, the idea of mobile continents contradicted their long-held belief in fixed continents, and they were skeptical of a meteorologist making geological claims.

Answer:

Question 1: Collision (convergence) of a continent and an ocean plate.
Question 2: "All of the other answers are correct, and thus this is the best answer."
