From the chapter: Geomorphology I: Endogenetic and Exogenetic Forces, Continental Drift, Plate Tectonics and Earth Movements

Which forces did Wegener propose to explain the movement of continents?

Show the answer and why

Answer: C.

Wegener invoked a pole-fleeing force from the Earth's rotation and a tidal force from the Sun and Moon. Both were shown to be far too weak, which is why drift was rejected; convection was Holmes's idea, and slab pull belongs to plate tectonics.
