Continental Drift-was a theory that explained how continents shift position
on Earth's surface.
Seafloor Spreading-helps explain continental drift in the theory of PLATE TECTONICS. when oceanic plates diverge, tensional plates causes fracture to occur in the lithosphere.
Continental drift is the theory that the Earth's continents have moved over geologic time relative to each other, thus appearing to have "drifted" across the ocean bed. The speculation that continents might have 'drifted' was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596.
Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge.
When waves travel through water, the moving water particles continue to return to their starting position because waves transfer both matter and energy.
Different components of a mixture have different properties on the basis of which we device the method that is used to separate it from other components of the mixture
