Question

discuss the plate tectonic theory to resolve the problem of continental drift in easy language​

Answer 1

Explanation:

★ Key Principles

The outer layers of the Earth are divided into the lithosphere and asthenosphere. The division is based on differences in mechanical properties and in the method for the transfer of heat. The lithosphere is cooler and more rigid, while the asthenosphere is hotter and flows more easily.

★ Types of plate boundaries

Three types of plate boundaries exist,[11] with a fourth, mixed type, characterized by the way the plates move relative to each other. They are associated with different types of surface phenomena. The different types of plate boundaries aren:-

1) Divergent boundary

2) Convergent boundary

3) Transform boundary
