Best answer

Wegener considered the following two forces responsible for the flow of continents. 

1. Gravity and flotation force. 

2. Tidal force.

1. Gravity and flotation force: This force led the movement of the land towards the equator (north side). Due to this force, India, Australia, Madagascar and Antarctica were created. 

2. Tidal force: Due to this force, the land was moved westwards, which led to the creation of North and the South America.
