But plate tectonics is the theory which suggests that the Earth's crust is made up of solid plates moving relative to each other. Plate tectonics and the plate tectonics theory aren't really two separate things. However plates are pieces of the Earth's crust which are moving.
Creationist theory and plate tectonics do not disagree in any way.
Plate tectonics
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
Plate tectonics
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
The Theory of Plate Tectonics?
The theory that states that plates move around on the asthenosphere is called plate tectonics. This theory explains the movement of the Earth's lithosphere into different plates and their interactions at plate boundaries due to the convective currents in the asthenosphere beneath them.
They are the same thing.
There are 2 tectonics theories namely: divergent boundary and subduction zone. The boundary of the plate tectonics where two plates are placed is called divergent boundary while the subduction zone is a convergent boundary where in one plate is subducted on another.
continental drift is caused by plate tectonics
