In the past years and centuries earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are theory of plate tectonics. <--- IDK if this is right ...(no not right)
The theory of Plate tectonics describes the large scale motions of Earth's lithosphere.

What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called?
Tectonic plates
What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic plates?
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
What is the difference between a tectonic hazard and a tectonic event?
a tectonic hazard is a disaster caused by the moving of tectonic plates.....anda tectonic activity is the moving of tectonic plates........
What causes friction on tectonic plates?
the movement of tectonic plates
How do you use the word tectonic plates in a sentence?
Example sentence - The tectonic plates are always moving.
How do you put tectonic plates in a sentence?
When I first saw you, I was certain that the tectonic plates had just shifted. The Earth's lithosphere is made up of seven or eight major, and many minor tectonic plates.

Can your give me a sentence using the words tectonic plates?
The tectonic plates slide together, causing an earthquake to erupt across the southern part of the state.
What are the plates that make up Earth's crust?
Tectonic plates

Tectonic plates
How do you use plates in a sentence?
Volcanoes often occur where tectonic plates meet.
I am part of lithosphere but you move around on top of the asthenosphere?
The answer is Tectonic Plates
