Question

The theory of plate tectonics ________. A. incorporates continental drift but not seafloor spreading B. incorporates seafloor spreading but not continental drift C. incorporates and explains both seafloor spreading and continental drift D. does not incorporate seafloor spreading or continental drift g

Answer 1

C. incorporates and explains both seafloor spreading and continental drift

Step-by-step explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics -

According to this theory , it helps to explain briefly the bifurcations in the outermost shell of the planet earth , is referred to as the theory of plate tectonics .

The lithosphere consists of the outermost layer of the planet i.e. , the crust along with the top most portion of the layer mantle .

Exactly below the lithosphere is the second layer i.e. , asthenosphere , which consists of malleable particles of the mantle .

The theory helps to explain the process of continental drifts and seafloor spreading .

Hence ,from the given question ,

The correct answer is c.
