Question

can anyone explain me what is plate tectonics

Answer 1

Scientists continue to study and debate the mechanisms that move theplates. Mid-ocean ridges are gaps between tectonic plates that mantle the Earth like seams on a baseball. ... At subduction zones, two tectonic plates meet and one slides beneath the other back into the mantle, the layer underneath the crust.

Answer 2

The movements of the large sheets of rock (plates) that form the earth’s surface; the scientific study of these movements is known as plate tectonics. In 1960, scientists put forward the theory of plate tectonics to explain the changing face of the earth. According to the theory, The lithosphere is broken up into a number of Pieces call tectonic of lithospheric plates. These rigid plates float on semi molten rocks of the lower portion of the upper Mantle, which is called at asthenosphere. the temperature is very high in Asthenosphere. At this temperature the rocks are in a semi molten state and they can flow in a thick and vicious way. these tectonic plates are always moving from Convection cells ; i.e, disturbances that are set off from the core.
