Who was the scientist who contributed to the plate tectonics theory?

A man named Alfred Wegener first put out the theory of continental drift. That theory then evolved into sea floor spreading when a man named Harry Hess discovered that there are underwater mountain ranges spreading laterally away from them. That then arrives at the current theory of plate tectonics.

What is the therory that explains the movement of tectonic plates?
The crustal movement of the plates in the earth are not completely understood by scientist and considered a phenomenon. It is an accepted theory that the strength of the water in contrast to the weakness of the land make the movement of the plates.
Which theory describes the motion of earth's crust on its mantle?
plate tectonics=D
What theory states that plates move around on the athenosphere?
the crust cracks and magma fills in the space
What did the theory of plate tectonics replace?
The theory of plate tectonics replaced the theory of sea floor spreading.
What other types of scientist besides geologist would find the theory of plate tectonics useful in their work?
capriologists they study the whole world space, the layers everything so they would find theory of plate tectonics useful

alfred wegener

Alferd Wegner

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''
What is The theory that describes large scales movements of the lithosphere called?
Plate tectonics
What theory states that earth's surface is broken into separate plated?
Plate tectonics
What geological theory states that pieces of the Earth's lithosphere are in constant slow motion?
The geological theory that states that pieces of earths crust are in constant slow motion is called the Continental Drift Theory. This theory also considers Pangea, the way the continents were before the drift.
