Plate tectonics (from Latin tectonicus, from Ancient Greek ?????????? (tektonikós) 'pertaining to building') [1] is the scientific theory that Earth's lithosphere comprises a number of large tectonic plates, which have been slowly moving since 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.

Tectonic plates are large, irregular-shaped slabs of rock making up the Earth?s crust and upper mantle. They are found to float on top of a semi-liquid layer of rock called the asthenosphere. Plate tectonic theory began in 1915 when Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of continental drift.

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 has revolutionized the way we view large features on the surface of the Earth. Earth?s internal processes were previously thought to operate in a vertical fashion, with continents, oceans, and mountain ranges bobbing up and down, without much sideways movement.

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.

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.

The theory of plate tectonics states that 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.

Plate tectonics refers to the process of plate formation, movement, and destruction. It finds its foundations in two theories, continental drift and sea-floor spreading. Continental drift describes the movements of continents over the Earth's surface.
