    Theory
In summary, the rotator theory is a scientific explanation for the movement of Earth's continents. It proposes that the Earth's crust is divided into plates that slowly shift and collide due to convection currents in the mantle. This theory is important because it helps us understand past and potential future changes in the Earth's surface. Evidence for the rotator theory includes matching coastlines, similar rock formations and fossils, and comparable mountain ranges on different continents. However, the theory can be difficult to understand due to its complexity and reliance on plate tectonics and geology.

My question is, how to understand the rotator theory? I have problems with it, and we have QM in Poland only 1 year. Please help me with best links, because I don't know where should I search to understand.

Yeah !

Thank's?! A lot of informations I found there. But it is about (in general) N-rotator's behaviour. I'm new in this thema. :bugeye:
 

FAQ: What's the rotator theory. I don't understand it. Why?

What is the rotator theory?

The rotator theory is a scientific explanation for how the Earth's continents have moved over time. It suggests that the Earth's crust is divided into large plates that slowly move and shift due to convection currents in the mantle.

How does the rotator theory work?

The rotator theory suggests that the Earth's crust is broken into several large plates that float on the underlying mantle. These plates are constantly moving and colliding with one another, causing changes in the Earth's surface over time.

Why is the rotator theory important?

The rotator theory helps us understand how the Earth has changed over millions of years and how the continents have shifted and formed. It also helps us predict future changes in the Earth's surface and how they may impact our planet.

What evidence supports the rotator theory?

There is a wealth of evidence that supports the rotator theory, including the matching shapes of coastlines on different continents, similarities in rock formations and fossils found on different continents, and the presence of similar mountain ranges on different continents.

Why is it difficult to understand the rotator theory?

The rotator theory involves complex geological processes and can be difficult to visualize and understand. It also requires a basic understanding of plate tectonics and geology. However, with the help of visual aids and explanations, it can be easier to grasp and appreciate the significance of this theory.
