Question

what are tectonic plates

Answer 1

Plate tectonics 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. 

Answer 2

Hey Friend

✨Plate tectonics refers to crustal movements of plates on the Earth's surface. A tectonic plate is a rigid shell of the Earth's crust. The plates support and carry the continents and form the ocean floor. This concept was developed in the 1960s to explain the Earth's structural components. ✨
