"The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is divided into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper part of the mantle"
More about Plate Tectonics:
Plate tectonics is the thesis that describes the global distribution of geological phenomena. This includes the formation, movement, collision and destruction of plates and the resulting geological incident such as seismicity, volcanism, continental drift, and mountain structure.
A cross section of the earth exposes a crust with a complex pattern of interlocked and interactive plates. These plates obtain their name from the predominant continental or oceanic environment that they underlay.
