Comparison of Theories on Earth’s Crustal Movement.
Final Takeaway:
1️⃣ Continental Drift lacked a scientific mechanism but introduced the idea of moving continents.
2️⃣ Seafloor Spreading provided a mechanism for ocean expansion but didn’t fully explain continental movement.
3️⃣ Plate Tectonics unifies both and is the most accepted explanation for Earth’s dynamic crust.
So finally,
🌍 Continental Drift said continents move → 🚢 Seafloor Spreading explained oceans expand → 🔥 Plate Tectonics finally connected both into one big picture!
