Concept.2.2 Plate Tectonics

What Is the Difference between the Theory of Continental Drift and the Theory of Plate Tectonics?

Is Continental drift is the hypothesis that the Earth's continents have moved over geologic time?

is the mantle the layer of solid rock between Earth’s crust and core

How did the theory of plate tectonics evolve?

is conclusion a process of arriving at an inference, interpretation, or reason

Did the Theory of Plate Tectonics Evolve.Because Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of continental drift?

is the evidence data or information that either supports a statement or shows that it is not true?

is the theory a set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena.

is geosphere Earth's crust, both beneath the oceans and continents, as well as the mantle and inner and outer core

is rock cycle the process during which rocks are formed, change,and wear down.

is the data measurements or observations

is the lithosphere the part of Earth which is composed mostly of rocks; the crust and outer mantle

is the lava melted rock on Earth's surface

Two facts about Alfred Wegener.

is Earth the third planet from the Sun; the planet on which we live

When did Alfred Wegener published his idea

is the hypothesis a prediction based on background knowledge saying what is expected to happen in an experiment.

Is inference the process of reasoning by drawing a logical conclusion based on factual evidence

is continent a large continuous mass of land?

is crust the layer of rock that forms Earth's surface?
