Why do you think it was so important to science when Alfie Wegener and Harry Hess proved their theories of continental drift and sea-floor spreading? Explain your answer in AT LEAST 4 sentences!! NEED HELP PLEASE! I MARK

Alfred Wegener produced evidence in 1912 that the continents are in motion, but because he could not explain what forces could move them, geologists rejected his ideas. Almost 50 years later Harry Hess confirmed Wegener's ideas by using the evidence of seafloor spreading to explain what moved continents. Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) during a scientific expedition in Greenland, in 1912. In conclusion, Alfred Wegener had insufficient evidence to support his hypothesis of continental drift when he first published it in 1912.
