What was the major weakness of the Continental Drift Theory formulated by Alfred Wegner was OE It could not estimate the speed of plate motion per year O The theory relied on plants and animal fossil records to show that all continents were one unit before they broke apart The theory could not explain why the plates moved apart It is outdated and has no relevance for the study of present day geological processes O The theory was formulated by a non geologist who was not a scientist
