The theory of plate tectonics combines the ideas of continental drift and seafloor spreading. Continental drift, proposed by Alfred Wegener, suggested that continents were once joined and have since moved apart. Seafloor spreading, introduced by Harry Hess, described how new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges and pushes older crust away. Together, these concepts explain the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates and the dynamic nature of the planet's surface.

What is a creationist theory for plate tectonics?
Creationist theory and plate tectonics do not disagree in any way.
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 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.
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.

The theory of plate tectonics affirms what?
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
Why is plate tectonics theory thought to be a unifying theory?
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.
How can you define plate tectonics not plate tectonics theory?
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.
What is another name for the plate tectonic theory?
