1880.	What were the forces suggested by Wegener for the movement of the continents?
Answer» SOLUTION :Wegener suggested that the movement responsible for the drifting of the continents was caused by TWO FORCES. A) Pole-fleeing force and B) Tidal force.

The tidal force is due to the attraction of the moon and the sun that develops tides in oceanic waters. Wegener believed that these forces would become effective when applied over many million years.
