{{short description|The scientific and cultural change which developed from the acceptance of the plate tectonics theory}}

The Plate Tectonics Revolution was the scientific and cultural change which developed from the acceptance of the plate tectonics theory. The event was a paradigm shift and scientific revolution.[1]

By 1966 most scientists in geology accepted the theory of plate tectonics.[2] The root of this was Alfred Wegener's 1912 publication of his theory of continental drift, which was a controversy in the field through the 1950s.[2] At that point scientists introduced new evidence in a new way, replacing the idea of continental drift with instead a theory of plate tectonics.[2] The acceptance of this theory brought scientific and cultural change which commentators called the "Plate Tectonics Revolution".[2]

Response

In 1975 a paper said that "plate tectonics" gained general acceptance in its field in 1968 and called that acceptance a revolution.[3]

One scientist said that the Plate Tectonics Revolution brought excitement among scientists in the field in the 1960s.[4]

Publications in generations after the event reflected on how the Plate Tectonics Revolution was an early example of data science.[5]

One commentator claimed that the plate tectonics theory became popular and established a revolution in culture even before scientists could confirm some of the claims for which evidence was lacking.[6]

Advocates of Young Earth creationism challenge the theory.[7]

There are claims that science in Russia was a significant contribution to the Plate Tectonics Revolution, but Western bias against Russia has blocked recognition of their contributions.[8]
