Aristotle came up with the first theory about life on Earth and he believed that species were fixed creations arranged by their complexity, and those ideas alone lasted for 2000 years. Lamarck later discover that change occurs over a long period of time and he discovered that in the early 1800s. Finally, in 1859, Darwin published his book about his theory of evolution (On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection.) This encompassed his findings from his voyage on the HMS Beagle in 1831-36 on divergent evolution of finches on Galapagos Island and also his research in Australia.

What does the theory of plate tectonics affirm?
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
According to theory of plate tectonics?
The continents move.
What is the name of the geological theory that states that large pieces or slabs of Earth's crust -or lithosphere- are in constant slow motion?
The movement of crustal or lithospheric plates is a part of the theory of plate tectonics.
What is the theory that the earths crust is broken into pieces?
Are you referring to plate tectonics whichI believe is more than a theory. At one time all the continents were together in a land mass called Pangea. Sea floor spreading caused them to separate forming the present continents which generally look like a jig-saw puzzle you can put together. It was Alfred Wagner, a German, who first pointed this out in 1911 though the reason s were not known at the time.
Was the theory of Albert Wegener accepted during his lifetime?
No, not until later was this theory proven and supplemented by the theory of plate tectonics.
Which theory describes the motion of earth's crust on its mantle?
plate tectonics=D
What theory states that plates move around on the athenosphere?
the crust cracks and magma fills in the space
What did the theory of plate tectonics replace?
The theory of plate tectonics replaced the theory of sea floor spreading.
What is a creationist theory for plate tectonics?
Creationist theory and plate tectonics do not disagree in any way.
How old crust is recycled using the theory of plate tectonics?
Subduction
What is The theory that describes large scales movements of the lithosphere called?
Plate tectonics
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
What theory states that earth's surface is broken into separate plated?
Plate tectonics
What geological theory states that pieces of the Earth's lithosphere are in constant slow motion?
The geological theory that states that pieces of earths crust are in constant slow motion is called the Continental Drift Theory. This theory also considers Pangea, the way the continents were before the drift.
What are the huge sections of the earth's crust that move called?
plate tectonics
What does the theory of plate tectonics affirm?
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
The theory of plate tectonics affirms what?
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
