What was the downfall of Alfred Wegener

in his theory of continental drift?

The biggest problem with Wegener's theory was the

lack of direct evidence for continent movements because there
was no GPS at the time, and no mechanism could move whole
continents.

While he believed that continental drift could be

caused by Earth's spin, geologists have long known that rocks
are far too strong for this theory to be correct.
