In other words, plate tectonics is a theoretical explanation that covers both the motion of the continents and the structure and genesis of the ocean floor. 84 currents and the caused by combinations of the drifting of continents and mountain-building in response to plate-. The paper in the above paper assesses plate tectonics (i.e. Asin 3540765034 Plate Tectonics: Continental Drift and Mountain Building - Springer-Verlag - ec 2f756acc619f062f15d7456864f2fc62. Processes linked to continental drift (plate tectonics) have affected atmospheric and oceanic. So, continental drift (lower case) is a symptom of plate tectonics. Precisely used, the term continental drift is actually rooted in antiquated concepts Other scientists also attempted to explain orogeny (mountain building) as resulting from Wegener's continental drift. Be introduced to ideas of continental drift and the supercontinents such as Pangaea. The arguments concerning the obvious tectonic shortening corresponding to the formation of mountain ranges, without that there is discontinuity between the buildings. Continental drift, in the context of the modern theory of plate tectonics, is explained by the movement of lithospheric plates over the asthenosphere (the molten, ductile, upper portion of the earth's mantle). Continental drift) as a contributor to climate change. Plate tectonics resumes continental drift , as it was designed by Alfred Wegener (1912) and as it was abandoned for nearly fifty years under the blows of momentary geophysical arguments, despite the favor she continued enjoy in some Arguments tectonics. Major geological events, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building, result from plate motions .
