plate tectonics
Plate tectonics.
The theory proposing that continents slowly moved into their current locations is called "plate tectonics." This theory suggests that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, causing the continents to shift over time.
its Continental drift
The hypothesis that continents have moved is called continental drift. This theory suggests that Earth's continents were once joined in a single supercontinent called Pangaea and have since moved apart to their current positions.
The theory that continents have moved slowly over time to their current locations is called continental drift. This theory was proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century and later developed into the theory of plate tectonics, which explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere through the interaction of tectonic plates.
Wegener's theory that the continents slowly moved over Earth's surface became known as the theory of continental drift.

Plate tectonics.
The hypothesis that states that continents slowly moved to their present-day positions on Earth is called continental drift. This theory was proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century, suggesting that continents were once part of a single supercontinent called Pangaea and have since drifted apart.
Through the passage of time, the continents have gradually moved across the earth's surface into their present positions. This is called the continental drift.
