What does the theory of plate tectonics help explain the locations of?
The theory of plate tectonics helps explain the location of earthquakes, as they frequently happen along fault lines.
What do plate tectonics help explain?
They explain the cause of earthquakes on Earth.
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
What forms of science were used to help gather evidence for the existence of Pangaea?
Plate tectonics led to the theory of Pangaea.

The mid-atlantic ridge is a good example

What is below the lithosphere and how does this help to explain the theory of plate tectonics?
The lithosphere of the Earth is composed of the crust and the upper part of the upper mantle, and is broken up into plates. Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, which is the lower part of the upper mantle and the entire lower mantle. The asthenosphere is a plastic-like substance that flows due to convection. As this substance flows, it causes the plates above it to move around. Plate tectonics is the theory that the lithosphere is divided into plates that are constantly in motion.
Can plate tectonics help earthquake prediction?
yes it cant:D
