Question

What do you understand by the term
'plate tectonics'? What is the reason for
its occurrence?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. ... The lithosphere includes the crust and outer part of the mantle

Tectonic Plates are pieces of Earth's crust and uppermost mantle, together referred to as the lithosphere. When these plates collide ,an earthquake occurs.
