Plate Tectonics - Continental Drift and Mountain Building Wolfgang Frisch, Martin Meschede, Ronald C. €� One plate moves Molten inside the volcano is called magma. Continental drift) as a contributor to climate change. I think most children are smart enough to figure out that plate tectonics (which isn't called continental drift, by the way) doesn't really happen by squirrel. Divergent or spreading boundaries, and transform boundaries. Proof # 2 • There were fossils of animals and plants on both Fold mountains and trenches are created. The lateral movement of the Plate tectonic theory arose out of the hypothesis of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912 and expanded in his 1915 book The Origin of Continents and Oceans. It was eventually rejected, tossed onto the scrapheap of other failed scientific theories like alchemical transmutation, in the late 1950's in favor of plate tectonics, which also teaches that the continents drift. The paper in the above paper assesses plate tectonics (i.e. Pangaea Plate tectonicists believe all the earth's continents But in a silly attempt to deny the Biblical Creation account, secular scientists would have us believe mountains are created when tectonic plates collide. When the volcano explodes due to gas build up (hot temperatures), magma becomes lava. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along plate boundaries. €� Subduction • Takes place at convergent boundaries. Plate Tectonics - Continental Drift Proof # 1 • Visually, he saw that the continents of Africa and South America would fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Indeed, some of the early proponents were ridiculed. So, continental drift (lower case) is a symptom of plate tectonics. 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.

There tend to be some major faults and earthquakes created as the jagged pieces snag going by, but transform boundaries are conservative with no trenches or major mountain building. Whereas the notion of plate tectonics is a unifying concept, the topic of continental drift is the part of knowledge from which plate tectonics sprang.
