Answer:
According to the theory of plate tectonics, Earth is an active planet. Its surface is composed of many individual plates that move and interact, constantly changing and reshaping Earth's outer layer. Volcanoes and earthquakes both result from the movement of tectonic plates.

Answer:
Plate tectonics is the over-lying theory presently used by most Earth Scientists to describe motion within the outer-most layer of the solid Earth (also know as the lithosphere). Individual plates of varying size move about the surface of the Earth at varying speeds. Where plate pull apart, slide by each other or collide, there is tectonic activity manifested as earthquakes.
