New crust forms at mid-ocean ridges.
Earthquakes, volcanoes, canyons, mid-ocean ridges, mountain ranges and so on and the results of plate tectonics.
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
The theory of continental is not accepted as it is been disproved, but it was replaced by the theory plate tectonics. This theory accepted because of may factors including the discovery of mid-ocean ridges, subduction zones, and the tracking of plates via GPS and other means.
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
this is easy! I LEARNED IT IN SCIENCE! WERGNER DICOVERED IT. WEGNERS EARLIER THEORY OF CONTINENTAL DRIFT WAS REEXAMMINED AND A NEW THEORY WAS BORN ............................ THE THEORY OF PLATE TECTONICS
I Dont Know. Any Help??

continental drift is caused by plate tectonics

The theory of plate tectonics has succumbed to the newer theory of continental drift. Scientists believe this theory today due to three main factors. First, the continents appear to fit together. When the continental shelves, as opposed to just the continents, are placed together, the fit appears uncanny. Second, the distribution of fossils is consistent with continental drift. Lastly, glacial deposits once covered parts of the earth that are currently tropical.ANSWER: The plate tectonics theory is relatively new and formulated only in the 1960s. The evidence listed above in the first answer can only support the continental drift theory which was developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. Evidence that can support the plate tectonics theory are the age, depth of oceanic sediments, volcanic activity, geothermal gradient, gravity anomalies, paleomagnetism and seismologic evidence. If you are answering an exam question on evidence supporting plate tectonics, evidence supporting continental drift theory should only come later in your answer and should not be given too much emphasis, for the plate tectonics theory involves more than just the continental crust drifting around and cannot support the main hypotheses of the plate tectonics theory.
Sea Floor spreading has to do with the crust forming at ocean ridges and being destroyed at deep sea trenches.
earthquakes and volcanoes Do you know how to explain the theory of the continental drift?
Plate Tectonics.
