The Theory of Plate Tectonics by Kenn Oberrecht Plate tectonics, possibly the most important geological theory ever developed, incorporated the earlier theory of continental drift, espoused by German meteorologist and lecturer Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century.

The three differences between modern theory of Plate Tectonics and the ancient theory of the division of land during the time of Peleg are (1) how it happened, (2) when it happened, and (3) how long it took to happen.

By the late 1960s, plate tectonics was well supported and accepted by almost all geologists. We now know that Wegener's theory was wrong in one major point: continents do not plow through the ocean floor. ... There are a number of excellent WWW sites dealing with the modern theory of plate tectonics. Here is a modest sample:
