One argument used to dispute the theory of plate tectonics was the lack of a mechanism to explain how the continents could move across the Earth's surface. Critics questioned how large landmasses could drift without a physical force or process to drive their movement. Additionally, some geological features, such as mountain ranges and oceanic trenches, were thought to be formed by static processes rather than dynamic tectonic activity. However, advancements in the understanding of mantle convection and seafloor spreading eventually provided compelling evidence supporting plate tectonics.
Creationist theory and plate tectonics do not disagree in any way.
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
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.
Alfred Wegener is the person normally associated with the theory of plate tectonics.
An argument that was used to dispute the theory of plate tectonics was the Land Bridge Theory. Land Bridge Theory held that shifting portions of dry land explained the finding of identical species on different continents. Plate Tectonic Theory gradually gained favor and eventually eliminated the Land Bridge Theory.
Continents cannot cut through the ocean floor.
The existance of land bridges between continents

Plate tectonics
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
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.
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.
