How does continental drift support plate tectonics?
continental drift and plate tectonics are two side of a coin. As the continents are interlinked with the plates; so as the plate moved due to conviction current the continents also tends to move causing continental drift. Moment of plates due to conviction current or due to the adjacent plate is called plate tectonics.

Stegosaurus had 17 bony plates on its back. The plates were arranged in two rows, one one each side of the spine, and rather than the plates being directly across from each other, they alternated, with a plate on one side, then a plate on the other side, and then a plate on the first side again. In addition to plates, they had four bony spikes called thagomizers at the end of the tail.
