Answer 2

Plate tectonics is a theory which states that Earth's surface is made of plates that move with respect to one another. The word tectonic means “builder” and refers to the forces that shape Earth's crust. Plate tectonic theory had its beginnings in 1915 when Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of "continental drift."
