Plate tectonics (from Latin tectonicus, from Ancient Greek ?????????? (tektonikós) 'pertaining to building') is the scientific theory that Earth's lithosphere comprises a number of large tectonic plates, which have been slowly moving since about 3.4 billion years ago.

plate tectonics, theory dealing with the dynamics of Earth ?s outer shell?the lithosphere ?that revolutionized Earth sciences by providing a uniform context for understanding mountain-building processes, volcanoes, and earthquakes as well as the evolution of Earth?s surface and reconstructing its past continents and oceans.

Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that explains how major landforms are created as a result of Earth?s subterranean movements. The theory, which solidified in the 1960s, transformed the earth sciences by explaining many phenomena, including mountain building events, volcanoes , and earthquakes .

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into large slabs of solid rock, called ?plates,? that glide over Earth's mantle, the rocky inner layer above Earth?s core....

The theory of plate tectonics explains processes in the geosphere that are fueled by Earth?s internal heat that have operated over billions of years. These changes can be imperceptible over a human lifetime or violent and abrupt, and continue to shape Earth?s environments.

Earth?s lithosphere, or outermost shell, is broken up into large pieces called tectonic plates. These plates move slowly over the asthenosphere, a layer of softer rock below the lithosphere. On average, tectonic plates move a few centimeters per year. The place where two plates meet is called a plate boundary.
