If you could time travel back to the 1920s and meet Alfred Wegener, who was the original proponent of the continental drift hypothesis, what could you tell him about our modern idea of plate tectonics? What would you tell him regarding the structure of the Earth's interior, what evidence exists for plate tectonics, what is the relationship between volcanoes and earthquakes to plate tectonics (specifics), and what are some (if any) of the problems we still have in explaining certain features of plate tectonics?
