2.When did they come up with the theory?
3.What was the theory before plate tectonics ?

Plate tectonics grew out of a theory that was first developed in the early 20th century by the meteorologist Alfred Wegener. In 1912, Wegener noticed that the coastlines of the east coast of South America and the west coast of Africa seemed to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
Before the advent of plate tectonics, however, some people already believed that the present-day continents were the fragmented pieces of preexisting larger landmasses ("supercontinents").
Continental drift, which differs somewhat from plate tectonics, was first proposed in 1910 (1911?). While it got the dynamic continents correct, the theory of drift proposed that the land masses plowed through the oceans.It also could not properly define the energy source for the movement of continents. Your curiosity is appreciated but, really, what does it matter what came before plate tectonics? The theory of plate tectonics so thoroughly encompasses the earth's dynamism in a way that previous theories could not. Every previous theory really pales in comparison.

In 1912 Alfred Wegener thought of the theory of plate tectonics. The idea before everyone knew about plate tectonics was that the earth was flat and if you went to the end you would fall off the earth.

alfred wegener made it it was made in 1920 and the old one was continetial drift

Alfred Wegener came up with it in 1920. Yes the earth was here before plate tectonics.
In 1912, meteorologist Alfred Wegener made the theory of tectonic plates. The theory before that was continental drift.

Alfred Wegener came up with the theory plate tectonics. They came up with it in 1980.
But I don't know if that is right
Alfred Wegener came up of the theory of tectonic plates in 1920.
1.Alfred Wagner came up with the idea of tectonic plates 2.In the year 1915 3. I don't even know.
VOTE FOR KATIE AND KAYLEE :)

I don't now this but this is scince.
1. Its an attempt to explain the movements of the Earth lithosphere. 2. It was in the 20th century.
Alfred Wegener came up with the theory of tectonic plates.
In 1831 is when they came up with the theory.
And I have no idea

How do you get to the random blog?
In 1912-20 Alfred Wegener came up with the theory. They thought that the worlds surface didn't move
Alfred Wegener in 1912 to 1920 and they thought that they didn't move.
