As with any theory, it is made of ideas, and thoughts.
I know of many theories involving the ocean, but none specifically called oceanic theory. I have done some research, and found nothing relating to an "oceanic theory."
Scientifically speaking, a theory is one of the steps in the scientific process.
1 Observation
2 Hypothesis
3 Experimentation
4 Results (if results don't agree with hypothesis, return to 2)
5 Theory
The process is repeated many times to rule out chance, and if you get the same results every time, it can scientifically be called a theory. If you continue on to scientific proof that your theory is correct and cannot be explained in by any other means, it becomes scientific law. However, very little is actually scientific law in modern science. Even gravity is only scientifically a theory.

According to the plate tectonic theory a plate can be made up of?
