Plate tectonics.
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
The driving Forces of Continental drift are both gravity and the motion of the underground Tectonic Plates.
The continental drift is still taking place.
The theory of continental drift did originate in the 1930s. Continental drift asserts that the continents were once a single landmass called Pangaea that drifted apart over time.
One main objection to Wegner's continental drift hypothesis was the lack of a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move through solid oceanic crust. At that time, the idea of continental drift contradicted prevailing scientific beliefs about the rigidity of the Earth's crust.
One key piece of evidence that was not initially used in support of the continental drift hypothesis was a mechanism explaining how continents could move. It wasn't until the discovery of plate tectonics and the development of the theory of seafloor spreading that a mechanism was found to explain how continents drift.
The fundamental problem with Wegner's theory was that he couldn't explain a mechanism for the movement of plates.

Scientist rejected Wegners hypothesis of continental drift at first because he did not have enogh evidence to support his theory. He failed to provide a suitable mechanism that could cause the continents to move.
Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift was rejected because he lacked a plausible mechanism to explain how the continents moved. Additionally, the scientific community at the time did not have sufficient evidence to support the idea of continents drifting. It wasn't until the theory of plate tectonics emerged later, providing a mechanism and supporting evidence, that continental drift became widely accepted.
The mechanism that causes continents to move is called plate tectonics. It is driven by the movement of the Earth's lithosphere, which is divided into plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. This movement is responsible for phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the shifting of continents over time.
Continental Drift
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
No; continental drift is a geological process.
Alfred Wegner's continental drift theory was ignored because he didn't have enough proof to show everyone that tectonic plates were moving. The supercontinent Pangaea sounded like a big fantasy to everyone back then.
Is there a list? Continental drift is real, so religious fanatics don't provide evidence for continental drift.
