Who is founder of plate tectonics?
Alfred Wegener is often credited as the founder of the theory of plate tectonics, although his ideas were not widely accepted until many years after his death in 1930. The theory was further developed and confirmed by scientists such as Arthur Holmes, Harry Hess, and Robert Dietz.
The difference between plate boundaries and plate tectonics -?
Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that Earth's surface is broken up into huge, slow-moving slabs called tectonic plates. The movement of these plates drives many geologic processes including most earthquakes and volcanoes. Plate boundaries are the areas where two tectonic plates meet.
Does mars have plate tectonics like earth?
Hi, that's a good question. I'm not too sure... maybe you can ask someone else but I don't know anyone else who would know the answer to that question. Good luck in your hunt for the right answer. I think it is a good question. I like the word tectonic. It reminds me of tonic water, fizzy... yummy. Refreshing too. Not too many brands out there though. Shwepps and another which I cant think of the name.
Why was the idea of plate tectonics difficult for many scientists to accept for many years after it was first introduced?
The idea of plate tectonics faced skepticism because it challenged the prevailing beliefs of stationary continents and was initially unsupported by a clear mechanism for how tectonic plates could move. Additionally, the scientific community at the time lacked sufficient evidence, such as the understanding of seafloor spreading and the role of mantle convection. Many scientists were also resistant to change and preferred to maintain established theories. It wasn't until more evidence accumulated in the mid-20th century that plate tectonics gained widespread acceptance.

Why do you suppose plate tectonics is a theory and not a law?
For one thing many of its premises are far from uncontroversial. A minority of geologists internationally dissent from the Plate Tectonics paradigm to one degree or another. Many of the latter are loosely organized around the New Concepts in Global Tectonics Group. These geologists and geophysicists have also organized special sessions at meetings of the International Geological Congress and the European Geophysical Union, and continue to publish the New Concepts in Global Tectonics newsletter.
