The theory of continental drift was not accepted for many years. One problem was that a plausible driving force was missing. A second problem was that Wegener's estimate of the velocity of continental motion, 250 cm/year, was implausibly high.(The currently accepted rate for the separation of the Americas from Europe and Africa is about 2.5 cm/year). And it did not help that Wegener was not a geologist.s late as 1953 â just five years before Carey introduced the theory of plate tectonics â the theory of continental drift was rejected by the physicist Scheidegger on the following grounds.
While Wegner's theory of continental drift assumed that continents plowed through and over oceanic crust, his basic ideas are still upheld today. As a result of submarines and â¦ radar technology used in WWII, scientists were better able to map the seafloor.   Yes, that and he also provided in â¦ formation showing it, such as fossils of the same plants and animals living on different continents. Many people during his time didn't believe him. Just after his death in 1930 did people begin to accept the theory of continental drift.
