Plate tectonics have deceptively slow movement. Just centimeters each year. But they’re never idle. Like the seams of a baseball, tectonic plate boundaries wrap around the Earth. Earth’s tectonic plate boundaries are unusual because they can consist ofcontinent and ocean crust. ...
This explains what is plate tectonics theory of divergent boundaries. Atlantic Ocean is a divergent boundaryThe continents on each side of the Atlantic Ocean have been drifting apart forming new seafloor in the Atlantic Ocean basin for millions of years. The rate the African Plate and the South ...

Plate tectonics as a theory distinct from, yet embracing, continental drift and sea floor spreading was formulated by Wilson [1965] when he described a continuous network of ridges, transforms, and subduction zones bounding large rigid plates. Wilson explicitly discussed many of the consequences of ...
