Comparison of Theories On Earth's Crustal Movement. - Clarity Desk Hub

The document compares three theories of Earth's crustal movement: Continental Drift, Seafloor Spreading, and Plate Tectonics. Continental Drift introduced the concept of moving continents without a mechanism, Seafloor Spreading explained ocean expansion but not continental movement, while Plate Tectonics integrates both ideas as the most accepted explanation. Ultimately, it illustrates how these theories connect to form a comprehensive understanding of Earth's dynamic crust.

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!
