Because Wegener could identify the cause of continental drift
Most scientists originally reject the theory of continental drift since it did clearly explain continents would move. This is a theory that has been established by Wegener and did not get good support initially.
Scientist rejected Wegners hypothesis of continental drift at first because he did not have enogh evidence to support his theory. He failed to provide a suitable mechanism that could cause the continents to move.
That he either found it to be incorrect or heard from a majority of other scientists working in the same field of study that the hypothesis isn't true. Though it's almost always the first one I said.
Because they felt like it!
It means there is no reason why he should reject it, whether because there is no evidence to the contrary or because an experiment set up to test it affirmed that hypothesis.
because he didn't know how the tectonic plates/continents moved
Alfred Wegener couldn't describe how the plate tectonics moved. So, scientists rejected his hypothesis.
the hypothesis has not been proven wrong.
Because they thought that wegener was crazy . further study showed that his theory on Pangaea was true, seeing how it had been years later wegener had died.- bob saggett
Depending on the results of that test, either accept or reject that hypothesis.
It means that the experiment is consistent with the hypothesis. It adds to the credibility of the hypothesis.
It means that she or he has to accept that the existing hypothesis appears to be true.
It means there is no reason why he should reject it, whether because there is no evidence to the contrary or because an experiment set up to test it affirmed that hypothesis.

Because the caculated strength of rock made such movement of earth's crust seemed impossible.
