How is theory of plate tectonics similar to the continental drift?
continental drift is caused by plate tectonics
What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
What theory was the forerunner of the theory of plate tectonics?
Continental drift
Describe the relationship of continental drift and plate tectonics?
Continental drift is the theory that the Earth's continents have moved over time due to the movement of tectonic plates. Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that describes the large-scale movements and interactions of Earth's lithosphere. Continental drift was one of the key pieces of evidence that led to the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
What is the name of the theory that supported the continental drift?
Plate Tectonics.
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
Does the theory of plate tectonics contain both seafloor spreading and continental drift?
Yes. The theory of plate tectonics is very broad, and it covers seafloor spreading, continental drift, plate boundaries and so on.
Did the plate tectonics theory derive from the evolution of the continental drift theory?
Yes, the plate tectonics theory developed from the earlier continental drift theory. The continental drift theory, proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century, suggested that continents were once joined together and drifted apart. Plate tectonics, developed in the mid-20th century, expanded on this by incorporating the movement of Earth's lithosphere plates and explaining the processes driving continental drift.
What theory combined sea floor spreading and continental drift?
Plate Tectonics
In what ways is the plate tectonics theory different from the ideas of continental drift?
k
What are the 3 theories of crustal movement?
Plate Tectonics Continental drift theory 'Raisin' Theory
What was the theory proposed and initally rejected by Alfred Wegener?
The theory of continental drift and plate tectonics
