== == The main features of plate tectonics are: * The Earth's surface is covered by a series of crustal plates. * The plates are composed of crustal rock and solid upper mantle which is called the lithosphere. * Plates are composed of continental and oceanic crust. * The oceanic crusts are continually moving, spreading from the center, sinking at the edges, in a process of recycling. * Rising legs of convection currents beneath the plates create additional plate material at mid-ocean ridges, sinking legs of convection currents swallow old crustal plates at subduction zones. * The heat driving the convection currents is from radioactive decay of material within the Earth and from residual heat from accretion processes during Earth's formation. Convection cells in the magma of the outer core pull the earth's tectonic plates along the surface. These plates can collide and cause earthquakes.
Plate tectonics are what each continent is on. They move and are continuing to move today. It has to do with the earth's shape because the plate tectonics move the continents around.
they move because of the magma

plate tectonics
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
The theory that states that plates move around on the asthenosphere is called plate tectonics. This theory explains the movement of the Earth's lithosphere into different plates and their interactions at plate boundaries due to the convective currents in the asthenosphere beneath them.
Plate tectonics move. But the plate margin that cause strong earthquakes are collision and conservative plate margins. I hope it helped!
