 * History of the Plate Tectonics Theory: **

Wegener’s Theory from BBC Schools: “The theory of plate tectonics is now well-established. Continental drift is happening as tectonic plates move, with earthquakes and volcanoes often occurring around their edges.” [|__http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/21c_pre_2011/earth_and_space/continentaldriftrev1.shtml__]
