One. GSA Today | June 2017 textbook from the time “admitted” that “the cause of crustal deformation is one of the great mysteries of science and can be discussed only in a speculative way” (Longwell et al., p. 18). Tharp recalled being taught in grad school what continental drift was—but not in a way that suggested it was a realistic possibility.

Plate tectonics (from Latin tectonicus, from Ancient Greek τεκτονικός (tektonikós) 'pertaining to building') [1] is the scientific theory that Earth 's lithosphere comprises a number of large tectonic plates, which have been slowly moving since about 3.4 billion years ago. [2] .
