Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and continental plates come together, spread apart, and interact at boundaries all over the planet

HEY!HERE'S YOUR ANSWER,

PLATE TECTONICS: -

Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth’s crust. It is widely accepted by scientists today.

# Both continental landmasses and the ocean floor are part of the earth’s crust, and the crust is broken into individual pieces called tectonic plates .

# The movement of these tectonic plates is likely caused by convection currents in the molten rock in Earth’s mantle below the crust.

#Earthquakes and volcanoes are the short-term results of this tectonic movement.

#The long-term result of plate tectonics is the movement of entire continents over millions of years .

# The presence of the same type of fossils on continents that are now widely separated is evidence that continents have moved over geological history.
