Abstract
Alfred Wegener's hypothesis was rejected by many who felt it lacked a credible mechanism which could explain the continental movement hypothesized by Wegener. The notion of seafloor spreading, which suggested that new seafloor develops at oceanic ridges--or "spreading centers"--eventually would provide a clue as to what that mechanism might be.
