Plate Tectonics Webquest, Part D: Plate Tectonics: Types of Boundaries: Divergent boundaries. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along plate boundaries. So, continental drift (lower case) is a symptom of plate tectonics. Wolfgang Frisch, Martin Meschede and Ronald C. Book Review: Plate Tectonics: Continental Drift and Mountain Building. In other words, plate tectonics is a theoretical explanation that covers both the motion of the continents and the structure and genesis of the ocean floor. The lateral movement of the Plate tectonic theory arose out of the hypothesis of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912 and expanded in his 1915 book The Origin of Continents and Oceans.
