When Einstein died in 1955 the theory was not yet known as plate tectonics, it was called continental drift and had almost no evidence supporting it. It was not until the early 1960s that the discovery of the magnetic stripes on the oceanic floor demonstrated a practical mechanism by which the theory could operate. Therefore I doubt he had much of an opinion on the theory (also it was not in his field of expertise).

What did Albert Einstein do to change the way scientists think about our universe?

Albert Einstein is best known for developing the theory of relativity, which fundamentally changed the way scientists think about space, time, and gravity. His equations laid the foundation for modern physics and led to incredible advancements in our understanding of the universe.


What idea best describes our modern understanding of geologic change?

I think you are going for plate tectonics.


What is similarities tectonics and theory of the continental drift?

Tectonics is the large scale processes effecting the crust. The large scale process that is accepted to be occurring is plate tectonics (crust separated into plates that move and interact). The theory of continental drift suggested that continents moved however it never proposed a mechanism, plate tectonics is that mechanism that explains what alfred wegener saw. So back to your question similarities between what i think you mean modern tectonics i.e. plate tectonics and continental drift is that they both suggest the crust is moving.


How does ocean trenches have to do with plate tectonics?

i think that if anyone had to answer this, it would be someone with professional knowledge on the topic. I would probably say that someone like a PROFESSOR. Plate tectonics is a huge topic, and it needs constant thinking and deep thought into why each tectonic plate actually moves as it does. I personally think that the Atlantic Ocean is one that expands due to the fact that it simply is HUGE and vast as it is.


Who was the scientist in the world?

I think you meant the best scientist on the world] And im farely sure it is Albert Einstein.
