WHAT IS THE PLATE TECTONICS
Answers
hlo mate here is your answer.
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.
thank you.
plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz mark my answer as brainiest.
plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz follow me.
what are 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.
=> 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.
