You could compare these topics in similarities; continental drift and plate tectonics both start on the same basis of idea‚ that Earth’s lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates. You could also state some differences‚ such as continental drift occurs on all plate types‚ but sea-floor spreading only takes place

Explain how plate tectonics can help our understanding of the distribution of either earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Plate tectonics can help us understand the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes very easily‚ it is recorded that main earthquake and volcanic zones are clustered along plate boundaries and more powerful ones are near destructive and conservative plate boundaries. Over time we have learnt that earthquakes that occur on a constructive plate boundary cause little hazard to
