According to the theory of plate tectonics, the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several large and rigid plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath. These tectonic plates interact at their boundaries, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges. The movement of these plates is driven by forces such as mantle convection, slab pull, and ridge push. This theory provides a comprehensive explanation for the dynamic nature of Earth's surface and its geological history.
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''

it wasnt accepted. Wegener's theory of continetal drift wasnt accepted. the theory of plate tectonics was created when scientists discovered about sea floor spreading and magnetic reversals. but i dont know when the theory of plate tectonics was created. so you can ask about that.
Alfred Wegener is the person normally associated with the theory of plate tectonics.
The continents move.

The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
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.
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.
The Theory of Plate Tectonics?
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.
