Question

Explain in detail about plate techtonic theory.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and continental plates come together, spread apart, and interact at boundaries all over the planet

Answer 2

Explanation:

A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. ... By contrast, oceanic crust is composed of basaltic rocks, which are much denser and heavier.
