The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
The continents move.
The movement of crustal or lithospheric plates is a part of the theory of plate tectonics.
Are you referring to plate tectonics whichI believe is more than a theory. At one time all the continents were together in a land mass called Pangea. Sea floor spreading caused them to separate forming the present continents which generally look like a jig-saw puzzle you can put together. It was Alfred Wagner, a German, who first pointed this out in 1911 though the reason s were not known at the time.
No, not until later was this theory proven and supplemented by the theory of plate tectonics.
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.
plate tectonics=D
the crust cracks and magma fills in the space
The theory of plate tectonics replaced the theory of sea floor spreading.
Creationist theory and plate tectonics do not disagree in any way.
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
Plate tectonics
Plate tectonics
The geological theory that states that pieces of earths crust are in constant slow motion is called the Continental Drift Theory. This theory also considers Pangea, the way the continents were before the drift.

The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
theory of plate tectonics
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.
