explain the theory of plate tectonic
Answers
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:
According to this theory, the crust of the earth has been formed out of seven major and some minor plates. The
movement of these plates led to folding, faulting and volcanic activity. These are classified in three categories:
Convergent Boundary: When plates come .towards each other, also called folding movement.
Divergent Boundary: When plates move away from each other, also called faulting movement.
Transform Boundary: In the event of coming together, they may collide or may slide under each other.
