How is theory of plate tectonics similar to the continental drift?
continental drift is caused by plate tectonics
Describe the relationship of continental drift and plate tectonics?
The relationship of continental drift and plate tectonics is that the plate tectonics move and are under the ground and the continental drift is on the top of earth...
What is the mechanism that causes the continents to move called?
It is called the theory of plate tectonics.
What technology supports continental drift?
Continental drift is explained by the science of plate tectonics.
What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?

What two ways is the plate tectonic theory different from the ideas of the continental drift?

Explain plate tectonics and the mechansim of continental drift?
Plate tectonics describes the motion of the Earth's lithosphere which brings about continental drift due to convection currents.
What has the author Tina Kasbeer written?
Tina Kasbeer has written: 'Bibliography of continental drift and plate tectonics' -- subject(s): Bibliography, Continental drift, Plate tectonics
How does continental drift support plate tectonics?
continental drift and plate tectonics are two side of a coin. As the continents are interlinked with the plates; so as the plate moved due to conviction current the continents also tends to move causing continental drift. Moment of plates due to conviction current or due to the adjacent plate is called plate tectonics.
