What else can I help you with?
What are examples of the theory of plate tectonics?
Sea floor spreading
When was the plate tectonics theory accepted?
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.
What geographical features provide evidence for plate tectonics?
Submarine mountain ranges, like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and deep oceanic trenches, such as the Mariana Trench, are evidence for plate tectonics. Earthquakes and volcanic activity along plate boundaries also support the theory of plate movement. Additionally, the distribution of rock types, fossils, and ancient climate indicators across continents provide further evidence for plate tectonics.
What is another name for the Continental Drift theory?
Another name for the Continental Drift theory is "Plate Tectonics." This theory explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere plates over the asthenosphere.
Sea-floor spreading is a valuable theory as it relates to plate tectonics because why?
Sea-floor spreading is valuable in plate tectonics because it explains how new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges. As this new crust is created, older crust is pushed away from the ridge, demonstrating the movement of tectonic plates. This process helps support the theory of continental drift and provides evidence for the movement of Earth's lithosphere.
What are examples of the theory of plate tectonics?
Sea floor spreading
What is responsible for the formation of ocean-floor features?
Plate tectonics and (river) erosion are responsible for the formation of ocean-floor features.
What is responsible for the formation of ocean floor features?
Plate tectonics and (river) erosion are responsible for the formation of ocean-floor features.
What are the similarities of the continental drift theory sea floor spreading and the plate tectonics theory?
the similarities of this 3 theory is,,,, they are all theory....
What theory combined sea floor spreading and continental drift?
Plate Tectonics
How did the ocean floor help develop the theory pf plate tectonics?
*of, sorry
What did the theory of plate tectonics replace?
The theory of plate tectonics replaced the older theory of continental drift. It provided a more comprehensive explanation for the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates and the processes that shape our planet's surface.
When was the plate tectonics theory accepted?
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.
What boundary the tectonics theory sea floor spreading takes place?
divergent boundary
What are some features of the ocean floor that provide evidence for plate tectonics?
they found fossils
