What two ways is the plate tectonic theory different from the ideas of the continental drift?
The plate tectonic theory expands on the idea of continental drift by incorporating the movement of the Earth's lithosphere into rigid plates. This theory also explains how these plates interact at their boundaries, causing phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity. In contrast, continental drift primarily focused on the movement of continents across the Earth's surface without explaining the mechanism behind it.
When was the theory of Continental Drift created?
