the core shakes causing the plates to move forming volcanoes ect..(that is why volcanoes spit out lava because it comes from the core.)

Plate tectonics or continental drift. Hello Bobs of the world
Plate Tectonics
First of all continental drift happened after Pangea. Pangea was a time when all of the continents were formed together. Then platetectonics moved which caused earth quakes. The earth quakes made the continents drift, and is called continental drift. To learn more on continental drifts and plate tectonics visit http;//www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001765.html
recent japan earthquake is the example of plate techtonics

continental drift
It is called the theory of plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics or continental drift. Hello Bobs of the world
Tectonic plate movements or plate shifting.
continental drift is caused by plate tectonics
The relationship of continental drift and plate tectonics is that the plate tectonics move and are under the ground and the continental drift is on the top of earth...
"Plate tectonics" is a fancy word for "Continental Drift". In both theories the continents move.
Plate tectonics explain earthquakes and volcanoes so does the theory of continental drift.
Continental drift is the drift of continents. The earth consists of large plates floating on a ball of molten rock. Such a plate is called a tectonic plate, and since they float, they can float a way. This is called continental drift. Continental drift is one of the main causes of earthquakes. Earthquakes especially happen when two continental plates are shifting next to each other.
Continental drift is explained by the science of plate tectonics.
