Question

what are tectonic plates​

Answer 1

It is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago. The model builds on the concept of continental drift, an idea developed during the first decades of the 20th century. The geoscientific community accepted plate-tectonic theory after seafloor spreading was validated in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

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

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

⚫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.
