The arrival of plate tectonics was a scientific revolution:

The arrival of plate tectonics was a scientific revolution: Plate tectonic theory states that the Earth's surface is broken into rigid lithospheric plates that slide on top of asthenospheric mantle. The boundary between these lithosphere and asthenosphere is based on rheology
