Abstract
The Plate Tectonics Theory completed 50 years of enrichment and intense and intercropped use. It was considered a revolution in Earth Sciences, due to the merits of the stipulated links between composition and structure of the Earth's interior and orogenic processes. This has always been done with respect of the geological knowledge and its support on the fields of Geochemistry and Geophysics. Such revolution, despite its successful applications, was followed since the early beginning by contests and valuable suggestions, called scientific addenda, which complement and supplement the model. Some geologists still today make restrictions to the theory because they are unaware of the remarkable volume of data, observations and scientific improvements incorporated into the original framework. This article aims to retrieve and discuss the addenda, as an attempt to update knowledge. Additionally, we discuss a series of supplementary concepts and consortium theories, both by link and by consequence, generated in the last 25 years.
