Question
What is the relationship between the Continental Drift hypothesis and the theory of Plate Tectonics? Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics were completing ideas in 1950s but Plate Tectonics received more support from geologists. Continental Drift is a precursor to Plate Tectonics. Plate Tectonics and Continental Drift have no relationship because they are completely separate ideas. Plate Tectonics is the precursor to Continental Drift.
