The mid-atlantic ridge is a good example
Sea floor spreading
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.
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.
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 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.
Sea floor spreading
Plate tectonics and (river) erosion are responsible for the formation of ocean-floor features.

the similarities of this 3 theory is,,,, they are all theory....
Plate Tectonics
*of, sorry
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.
