Nothing, it's a theory, like evolution!
How does knowing about the earths interior help us understand plate tectonics?
Knowing about the Earths inside helps to understand tectonic plates. The currents in the mantle move the tectonic plates-well they can change it and they help them move. However, it doesn't really affect much considering tectonic plates move on their own.
What does the theory of plate tectonics say about tectonic plates on the crust?
Well, the plate tectonics are under us, under the continents, under the ocean floor. They are what cause earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. If there are any further questions just ask.
Why is it important to monitor the tectonic plate movements in areas close to plate boundaries?
Otherwise if we didn't, and just not monitor them, there could be a major earthquake and none of us would know that was going to happen, and we couldn't, save thousands of people by giving them a warning :)
