What is the therory that explains the movement of tectonic plates?
The crustal movement of the plates in the earth are not completely understood by scientist and considered a phenomenon. It is an accepted theory that the strength of the water in contrast to the weakness of the land make the movement of the plates.
What did the theory of plate tectonics replace?
The theory of plate tectonics replaced the theory of sea floor spreading.
Who is J. Tuzo Wilson?
John Tuzo Wilson (24 October 1908 - 15 April 1993) was a Canadian geophysicist and geologist. He was the world's leading spokesman of the theory of continental drift. A mountain range in Antarctica was named after him. He was the father of the theory of plate tectonics (ie. the belief that the earth's crust is divided into plates which are moving as a result of the forces of the mantle beneath).
What theory states that plates move around on the athenosphere?
the crust cracks and magma fills in the space
Which theory describes the motion of earth's crust on its mantle?
plate tectonics=D
What theory would be most useful to a geologist to predict if California will ever fall into the Pacific Ocean?
the theory of plate tectonics
Who is the scientist who developed the theory of the plate tectonics?
alfred wegener
What is the name of the scientist that developed the theory of plate tectonics?
Alferd Wegner
What other scientists except for geologist find the theory of plate tectonics in their work?
Geophysicists, Seismologists, Geomorphologists and Palaeontologists are some examples of scientists who's work involves or is affected by the theory of plate tectonics.
Who was Alfred Wagner and what did he do?
The geologist who developed the theory of plate tectonics. However, most did not believe him because Wagner did not have a mechanism for how the plates moved.
Name of the scientist that came up with the continental drift hypothesis?
Did you mean Plate Tectonics Theory? - Plate Tectonics Theory is the combination of Continental Drift and Ocean/Sea Floor Spreading. BTW. The scientist who started it is Howard Baker continued by Alfred Wegener.

What did Alfred wegner do?
Alfred Wegener was a German meteorologist and geophysicist who proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century. He suggested that the Earth's continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea and have since drifted apart. Though his theory was initially met with skepticism, it formed the basis for the modern theory of plate tectonics.
What did the theory of plate tectonics replace?
The theory of plate tectonics replaced the theory of sea floor spreading.
What is a creationist theory for plate tectonics?
Creationist theory and plate tectonics do not disagree in any way.
