What parts of it.
Plate Tectonic theory appeared in the 50s
Was only actively adopted in the 70s
Yeah Theory means you don' know and so you have a best educated guess so it is not a fact like I said
No
Theory means model
what is a model?
I know we just going to break down the word soup
Scientific terminology is not the same as colloquial speach
What is a Model definition please
A model is an explaination which describes why we see the phenomena we do
It needs predictive power
And has to agree with all evidence presented OR be the most comprehensive model avaliable
@Sassy Undeniably satisfactory?
1.
a three-dimensional representation of a person or thing or of a proposed structure, typically on a smaller scale than the original.
"a model of St. Paul's Cathedral"

2.
a system or thing used as an example to follow or imitate.

verb
1.
fashion or shape (a three-dimensional figure or object) in a malleable material such as clay or wax.
"use the icing to model a house"
2.
use (a system, procedure, etc.) as an example to follow or imitate.
"the research method will be modeled on previous work"
Use the scientific definition, please
Not the first one you find in a dictionary
I asked you what the word model meant. I did not say scientific model and neither did you so go figure
A scientific model is a physical and/or mathematical and/or conceptual representation of a system of ideas, events or processes. Scientists seek to identify and understand patterns in our world by drawing on their scientific knowledge to offer explanations that enable the patterns to be predicted.
You knew exactly what I ment
There we go
That is the definition
Now
You believe it is electrical discharges, no?
So read it carefully it is a conceptual representation of a system of ideas, events or processes. So they don't know they just offer explanations
What evidence do you have for this model?
A discharge model
The same evidence your model presents. The difference in mine is that it is testable because we know how a battery works. There is proof of that. So it doesn't remain in the theory state. It can be fact and is testable and repeatable on a small scale model unlike yours.
So why do discharges tend to most where land and ocean meets or where land buckles?
let me get you that model pic so while I am explaining my understanding of it you have a visual of it.
Why is volcanism almost exclusively appear near oceans?
Why are rocks in some places of Brazil nearly identical to those in western Africa?
yes sassy why are rocks on earth similar to each other?
explain that !!
@Sassy Undeniably so why is volcanism almost exclusively associate with near-ocean areas?
Under this model?
Under plate techtonics, volcanology and seismology are directly related
