Why were Wegener's ideas about continental drift initially rejected

The main reason that Wegener's hypothesis was not accepted was that he suggested no mechanism for moving the continents.

Explanation:

It wasn't until 1928 that a Scottish Geologist, Arthur Holmes, came up with an explanation for why continents move. He believed that heat traps in the Earth caused convection currents. There were areas where fluids trapped beneath Earth's crust heat up, rise, spread laterally, then cool and drop back down. This hypothesis didn't have a wide acceptance either but was revived in the 1940s and 1950s when scientists started to learn more about the seafloor and the magnetic properties of oceanic crust.

Hope this helps!
