no. It is the study of the tectonic plates and the earthquakes that form. It studies the seismic activities of these plates. Thus seismology.


How do plates move where convection currents are sinking?

When convection currents sink near the mantle, they create drag on the lithospheric plates above. This drag causes the plates to move in the direction of the sinking current. As the plates move, they can interact with other plates, leading to processes like subduction or mountain formation.
