From these simple observations the theory of PLATE TECTONICS developed. ... Descending plates This hypothesis suggests that a cold dense plate descending into the mantle at a subduction zone may pull the rest of the plate with it and thus cause plate motion.

Plate Tectonics is a theory developed in the late 1960s, to explain how the outer layers of the Earth move ... Cause of Plate Tectonics ... A combination of dragging the lithosphere along the top of the convection cell, ridge push, sliding, and slab pull all appear to be contributing factors to the cause of plate tectonics.

During the 1960s several scientists published papers that reviewed the preponderance of evidence that had been gathered for the theory of continental drift and it soon came to be known as the theory of plate tectonics.

How the Earth's surface is made up of plates. ... Simply defined, the term plate tectonics refers to how the Earth's surface is made up of plates. In geology, a plate is a large slab of rock, while tectonics is a word of Greek origin meaning "to build."

The Story of Plate Tectonics;; The story of Plate Tectonics is a fascinating story of continents drifting majestically from place to place breaking apart, colliding, and grinding against each other; of terrestrial mountain ranges rising up like rumples in rugs being pushed together;

By the 1950s, the theory was later improved to become the Theory of Plate Tectonics which is widely accepted today. According to this theory, the Earth's surface is broken into eight major plates and several other smaller ones.
