Why do the shapes of South America and Africa fit so well together? No wonder, then, that this idea, developed in the 1960s but Tectonism is the deformation of the lithosphere, and the term tectonics refers to the study of this deformation, including its causes and effects, most notably mountain building. Also considered are plate tectonics, continental drift, and mountain building; absolute age dating; the origin of the hydrosphere and atmosphere; earthquakes and volcanism. Earth's Crust (Composition and Layering); Rocks (Origin, Types and. Plate Tectonics: Continental Drift and Mountain Building $56.34. Plate tectonics works hand in hand with several other striking concepts and discoveries, including continental drift and the many changes in Earth's magnetic field that have taken place over its history. Why are there old and young mountains? Pamela: Alfred put forward the idea of continental drift that once upon a time, long, long, long ago, like order of 225-250 million years ago back in the Permian Period maybe all the continents formed one giant continent called Pangaea.
