Heya!!! ✌️✌️
Here is your answer dear....
Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth's crust.........
The movement of these tectonic plates is likely caused by convection currents in the molten rock in Earth's mantle below the crust.
Earthquakes and volcanoes are the short-term results of this tectonic movement.....
Tectonic plates are able to move because the Earth's lithosphere has greater mechanical strength than the underlying asthenosphere....
Lateral density variations in the mantle result in convection; that is, the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid mantle.....
There are a few handfuls of major plates and dozens of smaller, or minor, plates. Six of the majors are named for the continents embedded within them, such as the North American, African, and Antarctic plates.......
Though smaller in size, the minors are no less important when it comes to shaping the Earth. The tiny Juan de Fuca plate is largely responsible for the volcanoes that dot the Pacific Northwest of the United States.......
I HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU ✌️✌️
HAVE A GREAT DAY DEAR....
