Plate Tectonics are a theoretical model builds on the concept of continental drift developed during the first few decades of the 20th century. Learn more at BYJU'S
INTRODUCTION TOPLATETECTONICS Though Wegener was right, as it turned out, his theory had one major shortcoming: it provided no explanation of exactlyhowcontinental drift had occurred. Even if geologists had accepted his claim that the continents are moving, it raised more questions than answers. A...

The English-speaking world was also split at that time, with influential drifters such as Du Toit and Holmes on one side of the Atlantic and general rejection of the idea on the other, especially in USA. In Chap. 4, the advent of plate tectonics in the late 1960s is viewed from the ...
