  • Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth’s outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rócky inner layer above the core.
  • The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth’s mantle.
  • This strong outer layer is called the lithosphere.

Causes of Plate Tectonics:

Plate tectonics affects humans in several important ways.

  • It causes earthquakes.
  • It causes volcano eruption.
  • It causes mountain-building.
