The north pole isn't subject to wandering - it's just ocean and ice - but there is a land mass at the south pole, and it wasn't always in that location. It is among the moving land masses which demonstrate that crustal plates do float on the magma of the mantle and slowly move. Investigations of Antarctica show evidence that it was at one time quite warm.

What does plate tectonic theory tell us?
Nothing, it's a theory, like evolution!
How did sonar contribute to the plate tectonic theory?

Why is tectonic plate movement still called the theory of plate tectonic movement?
Tectonic plate movement is still considered a theory because it is a well-substantiated explanation based on evidence and scientific reasoning. In science, a theory is an explanation that has been thoroughly tested and supported by numerous observations and experiments, and the theory of plate tectonics has provided valuable insights into the Earth's geological processes.
How are tectonic plate movements similar?
"Plate tectonics" is a fancy word for "Continental Drift". In both theories the continents move.
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
Who claimed the acceptance of theory of nullification?
Andrew Jackson claimed the acceptance of the theory of nullification.
What is the theory that the lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around?
That would be the theory of plate tectonics.

What is an idea that has been repeatedly and gains acceptance?
a Theory!
How does the eventual acceptance of the plate tectonic theory illustrate some aspects of the scientific method?
Over time the plate tectonic theory had to survive scientific tests. As we learned more about the Earth's interior and more bits of the fossil record were discovered it was found that the plate tectonic theory was consistent with all the new data. Identical land animal fossils on several continents implied that these continents were once closer together which implies that the continents move. The discovery of the mid ocean rifts showed that new material is flowing up towards the surface while the discovery of the subduction zones shows where the material sinks below. As more data supports a theory and less contradicts it, the theory becomes "accepted."
