What else can I help you with?
What is the theory that the lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around?
That would be the theory of plate tectonics.
How does the motion of the tectonic plates relate to continental drift?
Continental drift is the theory that "plates" on the Earth are constantly in motion and have been for millions of years. Tectonic plates are the actual moving plates.
What is the Theory earth divided into moving plates?
The place where tectonic plates touch
What is the theory that explains why you have earthquakes?
Due to the disturbances in tectonic plates
How does motion of tectonic plates relate to continental drift?
Continental drift is the theory that "plates" on the Earth are constantly in motion and have been for millions of years. Tectonic plates are the actual moving plates.

How is a mountain formed by colliding continental plates?
In theory, tectonic plates. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/geology/tectonics.html
What provides the most evidence for the theory of plates tectonic?
The spreading of the sea floor.
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
How is plate tectonic theory different from continental drift theory?
They are actually part of the "same" theory. Seafloor spreading and subduction are the driving forces of continental drift. Pangaea was the Earth's only continent 4 billion years ago. Tectonic plates are small plates, while continent drift is several tectonic plates moving as a mass (continent). There are 21 large plates and dozens of smaller ones.
The theory of tectonic plates help to explain?
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
What are tectonic plates and why are they important to us?
A plate tectonics is a theory that describes the formation movements and interaction
