@ his time plate tectonics was not theorized. they didnt know yet that continental and oceanic crust are seperate. it was thought that continents were drifting on water and moved some million years ago due to erosion,etc! hence the "continental drift theory"
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics
plate tectonics
yes it represets plate tectonics
instruments used in plate tectonics?
Yes, the singular form is normally plate tectonic or tectonic plate so the plural would be plate tectonics or tectonic plates. Dumb crap.
how are volcanoes and the process of plate tectonics related
the branch of geology for plate tectonics is asthenosphere.
But plate tectonics is the theory which suggests that the Earth's crust is made up of solid plates moving relative to each other. Plate tectonics and the plate tectonics theory aren't really two separate things. However plates are pieces of the Earth's crust which are moving.
Plate tectonics are what each continent is on. They move and are continuing to move today. It has to do with the earth's shape because the plate tectonics move the continents around.
Question is too broad. How do they help what? Are you asking how plate tectonics WORK?
