Why is theory of continental drift widely accepted today?
The theory of continental is not accepted as it is been disproved, but it was replaced by the theory plate tectonics. This theory accepted because of may factors including the discovery of mid-ocean ridges, subduction zones, and the tracking of plates via GPS and other means.
What is zone theory?
There are two types of zone theory they are concentric and subduction. The concentric zone theory states that urban land has to be classified as concentric zones.
What theory states that Earth's landmasses have changed position over time?

According to the theory of sea floor spreading new rock is added to the plates at?
...at constructive plate margins / boundaries.hence the term contructive, new crust is "contructed" here.(and destructed at a destructive plate margin / boundary / subduction zone.)
