Question

explain the story of plate tectonics

Answer 1

plate tectonic theory is a theory of scientists which explains about, how the physical features - like mountains,plains,plagues, islands etc. This theory says that earth has been formed from seven major and some minor plates. The movement of these plates have resulted in the building of stress within the plates and continental rocks which are above these plates which we can see are folding and faulting and volcanic activity is taking place due to these movement.

There are three types of of plate movement
1)some move and come closer to become convergent
2)some move and go away from one another to become divergent
3)some slightly slip and and become transform

what are tectonic plates.?

$\huge \purple {\boxed {\boxed {\mathbb {ANSWER}}}}$

$\huge \blue {\underline {\underline {\mathbb {TECTONIC\:PLATES}}}}$

⚫The lithosphere is broken up into plates called as tectonic plates.

⚫On Earth, there are seven or eight major plates and many minor plates.

⚫the shaking or colliding of these tectonic plates causes earthquakes and volcanoes.

$\huge \pink {\boxed {\boxed {\mathbb {EXPLAINATION}}}}$

=> Tectonic Plates are the plates on which the continents stands.

=> There are 7 major tectonic plates and there are many minor tectonic plates also.

=> The tectonic plates are the large pieces of rock under the earths surface .

=> that are constantly moving and responsible for causing earthquakes and volcanic eruption.

=> Tectonic plates refer to the small bit of layers of earth's crust and topmost layer of mantle.

=> These plates are main cause of mountain formation, volcanoes and tsunamis.

=> A tectonic plate is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere.
