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. In plate tectonics, Earth?s outermost ...

Plate tectonics is a theory about how Earth's lithosphere is divided into a series of rigid plates; and, how movements of these plates produce earthquakes, volcanoes, ocean trenches, mountain ranges, and more.

Over 200 million years, Pangea broke apart, and the pieces drifted into the continents we know today. So if the plates move so slowly, how do we know that they move at all? Scientists have documented evidence from various features on Earth that support the theory of plate tectonics.

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.

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.

plate tectonics, Theory that the Earth?s lithosphere (the crust and upper portion of the mantle) is divided into about 12 large plates and several small ones that float on and travel independently over the asthenosphere.

Tectonic plates are huge moving slabs that together make up Earth?s outer layer. Some span thousands of kilometers (miles) on a side. In all, a dozen major plates cover Earth?s surface. You might think of them as the cracked eggshell jacketing a hard-boiled egg.
