Why didnt other scientist support wegners theory?

Other scientists initially rejected Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift due to a lack of a plausible mechanism explaining how continents could move. Wegener proposed that continents drifted through the oceanic crust, but he could not provide sufficient evidence for this process. Additionally, the prevailing belief in fixed continents and the dominance of geological theories, such as land bridges and sedimentary processes, made it difficult for his ideas to gain traction. It wasn't until the development of plate tectonics in the mid-20th century that Wegener's ideas were vindicated.
