Plate Tectonics theory explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere through tectonic plates on the asthenosphere, leading to geological phenomena like mountain formation and continental drift.
Plate Tectonics is a theory that explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere through the motion of tectonic plates made up of the crust and upper mantle. These plates float on the flowing asthenosphere and interact at plate boundaries, leading to geological phenomena like mountain formation and continental drift.
