Tectonic Plate Theory, which is now accepted as fact.
the theory that states continents have move is that every year the continents move 1 inch and after a year they move 365 inches you can tell they move by them being one big continent called PANGAEA. you guys are really stupid if you listen to my friend
Theory of Continental Drift. This is the theory that continents move slowly over millions of years. The continents rest on sub-layers called tectonic plates which move away from each other, but also grind against each other.
by the wegner theory that seafloor spreading is going on
Yes, the continents move and shift around; this is the theory of plate tectonics.
Alfred Wegener was looking at maps once, (as he was a weatherman) and found the edges of each continents fit together like a puzzle. He researched it, and then came up with the theory of Continental Drift. The people did not accept his theory, and asked what made the continents move. He thought that that was not his problem, but the people of the world's problem.
Tectonic Plates Theory, which is now accepted as fact.
The theory is Tectonics.
How seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift is that wegener couldn't explain why and waht force caused the continents to move and so seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift because it shows the force that made the continents move and that was te only thing that wagener needed to prove his theory of continental drift............thanks

wegner was not able to prove how the continents move so his theory of continental drift got rejected.
The action of continents drifting apart from each other is called, "Continental Drift". It is no longer a theory, as it has been proven to be so. Of course, as certain continents move apart from each other, they also are moving closer to other continents.
Wegener's theory didn't explain how the continents could plow through the solid rock of the sea floor, and he was unable to give a convincing explanation of what force could move entire continents.

The theory was dismissed by the scientific community because there was no mechanism to move continents through what was believed to be solid rock.Here is one of the reasons that the theory was hotly debated when it came out in 1912: Link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94AiYYgtIEw
The continents move.
the theory of plate tectonics
The plate tectonics explains the locations of volcanoes. Each continent sits on one or more large bases tectonic plates. As the plates move, the continents atop them move, an effect called continental drift.
