Alfred Weneger, who was a German scientist somewhere in the 1930s. Other scientists didn't believe his theories at first, but about twenty years later, his theories appeared to be true.
they both were associated with plate boundaries and continental drift. Harry Hess's theory proved Alfred's to be true.
No, Alfred Wegener provided evidence from continental drift and fossil distribution to support his theory of plate tectonics, not a shrinking Earth. Wegener's theory suggested that the continents were once connected in a single landmass (Pangaea) and drifted apart over time due to the movement of tectonic plates.
Singholes generaly do not relate to plate tectonics. In most cases sinkholes result from the removal of underground material, which eventually cause the ground above to collapse into the space left behind. This is most often a result of weathering.
Yes, the Earth's continents were once connected as part of the supercontinent Pangaea, which existed about 335 million years ago. The theory of plate tectonics explains that the continents have moved and continue to move due to the motion of the Earth's tectonic plates, but the Earth itself is not getting larger.
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.
Plate tectonics is the combination of the seafloor spreading and continental drift. When Alfred Wegner described this process it was rejected due to lack of evidence. Since, we have discovered new evidence and proven his theory true.
true
true
Despite what Creationist would have you believe (when debating other topics) theory does not mean hypothesis or speculation. In science, a theory is an explanation of the natural world that is well-substantiated by evidence. This includes a number of explanations that are so well-substantiated by evidence that there is virtually no doubt among scientists that it is the correct explanation. These include the theory of plate tectonics, the thoery of evolution, atomic theory, and germ theory.
yes its true

Continental Drift is an obsolete name for the theory of Plate Tectonics and yes, it is true. It has been proved in many ways, by comparing the composition of oceanic crust and its ages with that of the continental crust, by plotting the reversals of magnetism in the oceanic crust and many other ways.

i dont know if its is true, but plate tectonics
That is true but it really isn't a question
Although it is proven and true, there is a .00001% that is could be false. So therefore it can't be a scientific law. That makes it a theory. There are very few scientific laws and only obvious facts are scientific laws. Like gravity.
