Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.

What is the unifying theory of geology?

The unifying theory of geology is the theory of plate tectonics, which explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere (outer shell) through the interactions of large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. This theory helps explain various geological processes such as earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, and the distribution of continents.

How can you define plate tectonics not plate tectonics theory?

But plate tectonics is the theory which suggests that the Earth's crust is made up of solid plates moving relative to each other. Plate tectonics and the plate tectonics theory aren't really two separate things. However plates are pieces of the Earth's crust which are moving.

What theory states that plates move around on the athenosphere?

The theory that states that plates move around on the asthenosphere is called plate tectonics. This theory explains the movement of the Earth's lithosphere into different plates and their interactions at plate boundaries due to the convective currents in the asthenosphere beneath them.
