When two continental crustal plates collide, the compressional deformation usually crumples the rock in the collision zone to produce a mountain range. Blakey, Wolfgang Frisch Type: eBook. GO Plate Tectonics: Continental Drift and Mountain Building Author: Martin Meschede, Ronald C. In other words, plate tectonics is a theoretical explanation that covers both the motion of the continents and the structure and genesis of the ocean floor. I think most children are smart enough to figure out that plate tectonics (which isn't called continental drift, by the way) doesn't really happen by squirrel. Today that persuasion has been reversed—plate tectonics, incorporating continental drift, is the ruling perspective. For example, the Indian-Australian Plate has collided with the Eurasian Plate to form the Himalayas. What caused such a dramatic about-face? So, continental drift (lower case) is a symptom of plate tectonics. Pangaea Plate tectonicists believe all the earth's continents But in a silly attempt to deny the Biblical Creation account, secular scientists would have us believe mountains are created when tectonic plates collide.

It was eventually rejected, tossed onto the scrapheap of other failed scientific theories like alchemical transmutation, in the late 1950's in favor of plate tectonics, which also teaches that the continents drift. Why are there old and young mountains? There tend to be some major faults and earthquakes created as the jagged pieces snag going by, but transform boundaries are conservative with no trenches or major mountain building. Indeed, some of the early proponents were ridiculed. Whereas the notion of plate tectonics is a unifying concept, the topic of continental drift is the part of knowledge from which plate tectonics sprang.
