Yes. The theory of plate tectonics is very broad, and it covers seafloor spreading, continental drift, plate boundaries and so on.
Some geologists believe there are no tectonic plates composed solely of continental crust, as plates typically consist of both continental and oceanic crust. The concept of a plate composed entirely of continental crust is not widely accepted in the field of plate tectonics.
Uranus doesn't have any active plate tectonics. Uranus is made out of gas and does not contain any solid surfaces.
Oceanic plates are young and made of basalt and recent sediments. Continental plates are old and contain continental crust made of old rocks and they are usually considerably thicker than the oceanic plates
yes
Continental crust and continental crust are made of different types of rock. The rocks in the continental crust do not contain as many of the heavier elements as the ones in the oceanic crust do.
The Oceanic plate denser than the continental plat because it contain magnesium,which is denser than aluminum found in continental plates.
The continental slope can contain oil fields, but not always. Oil deposits form in specific geological conditions, and while some continental slopes may have rich oil reserves, others may not have significant amounts of oil. It ultimately depends on the history and characteristics of the sedimentary basins associated with that particular continental slope.
The Rocky Mountains contain the continental divide, which runs along the spine of the range from Alaska to Mexico.
The presence of magnetic domains of alternating orientation parallel to the plate boundaries.

Mountains on land can be composed of rocks that contain fossils of oceanic animals through the process of plate tectonics. When tectonic plates collide, the oceanic plate may be forced beneath the continental plate in a process called subduction. The pressure and heat from this process can transform the oceanic rocks containing fossils into mountainous structures.
The plates that have continental crust include the North American Plate, South American Plate, Eurasian Plate, African Plate, Australian Plate, and Antarctic Plate. These plates contain mostly granitic rock, which is characteristic of continental crust.
