Continental drift takes place because continents sit on crustal plates which float on the Earth's magma, and the magma has convection currents in it which push against the plates and cause them to move, slowly but inexorably.
The two aspects of Weneger's continental drift hypothesis were objectionable to most Earth Scientist were. One, that gravitational forces of the moon and sun cause the earth's tides and also the movement of continents across the globe.Also, that larger and sturdier continents broke through thinner oceanic crust. Not 100% sure, but thats what my book says.ne, that gravitational forces of the moon and sun cause the earth's tides and also the movement of continents across the globe.
