Drift theories, particularly in criminology, suggest that individuals may oscillate between conforming and deviant behaviors based on situational influences. One prominent example is David Matza's "drift" concept, which posits that adolescents may commit delinquent acts during periods of "drift" when they are not fully committed to societal norms. This theory emphasizes that people can shift between compliance and deviance rather than being strictly one or the other, influenced by their social context and peer interactions.
"Plate tectonics" is a fancy word for "Continental Drift". In both theories the continents move.
Volcanos over a hot spot. Also continental (or plate) drift.
Genetic drift
Genetic drift is considered a form of evolution. If a single population is split into two isolated groups then genetic drift will result in increasing differences over time. Eventually they will become two different species, unable to interbreed even if the two groups are brought back together.
Sea-Drift was created in 1855.
No, genetic drift is an example of microevolution.

Plate Tectonics Continental drift theory 'Raisin' Theory
they couldn't agree on how it separated or what made it separate.
Example sentence - There are numerous theories on how best to educate children.
The theory of plate tectonics combined the theories of continental drift, which proposed that the continents were once connected and moved over time, and seafloor spreading, which suggested that new oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges. These theories were brought together to create a unified model explaining the motion of Earth's lithosphere.
"Plate tectonics" is a fancy word for "Continental Drift". In both theories the continents move.
Example sentence - There are numerous theories on how best to educate children.
One theory is plate tectonics, which suggests that Earth's continents drifted apart from a single landmass called Pangaea. Another theory is continental drift, proposed by Alfred Wegener, which suggests that continents move due to the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates. Both theories provide insights into the geologic history and formation of Earth's continents.
Genetic drift
One of the theories is that numerous violent eruptions spouted hundreds of cubic kilometres of volcanic ash into the sky, blocking the sunlight and causing an ice age. Volcanic eruptions are caused by plate tectonics (not continental drift).
The four main theories of evolution are natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and mutations. Natural selection is the process by which beneficial traits become more common in a population. Genetic drift is the random fluctuation of allele frequencies in a population. Gene flow refers to the transfer of genes between populations. Mutations are the source of new genetic variation in a population.
