Where the idea of plate tectonics came from?
this is easy! I LEARNED IT IN SCIENCE! WERGNER DICOVERED IT. WEGNERS EARLIER THEORY OF CONTINENTAL DRIFT WAS REEXAMMINED AND A NEW THEORY WAS BORN ............................ THE THEORY OF PLATE TECTONICS
Which was an idea to promote the theory of plate tectonics?
Mountain ranges linking in England and America
What two ways is the plate tectonic theory different from the ideas of the continental drift?
It isnt its the same thing-plate tectonics create the idea of continental drift.
How do mid ocean ridges support the idea of continental drift and the theory of plate tectonics?
New crust forms at mid-ocean ridges.

Which was an idea used to dispute the theory of plate technonics?
One of the ideas that was used to dispute the theory of plate tectonics was the concept of "fixism" or "fixist theory." Fixism proposed that the positions of continents and landforms on Earth were permanent and unchanging. According to fixism, the continents were believed to be stationary, and there was no mechanism for their movement or shifting. Fixism was prevalent in the early 20th century and before, with many geologists and scientists rejecting the idea of continental drift, which eventually led to the development of plate tectonics theory. However, as more evidence accumulated, particularly in the mid-20th century, supporting the movement of continents and the presence of large-scale tectonic plates, the theory of fixism was gradually abandoned in favor of the more widely accepted theory of plate tectonics.

The idea that Earth's lithosphere is divided into large moving sections is called the?
plate tectonics theory
How can continental drift be used in a sentence?
The idea of continental drift has been subsumed by the theory of plate tectonics.
Wegeners hypothesis of continental drift was replaced in 1967 by which theory that supported his idea continents move?
plate tectonics
What is the purpose of plate tectonics?
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
