What is the theory that the lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around?
That would be the theory of plate tectonics.
Are plate tectonic plate boundaries?
No, plate boundaries is part of the explanation of the Plate Tectonic theory:)

What do geologists call a crustal landmass that moves as a unit?
A Tectonic Plate
What type of sciences study tectonic plates?
Several things are studied by Earth scientists who specialize in tectonics. Plate boundaries, plate tectonics, boundaries, continental drift, mountains, and volcanoes are all studied.
What is another name for the plate tectonic theory?
The Theory of Plate Tectonics?
What concepts is part of the theory of plate tectonics?
the tectonic plate theory is....when the tectonic plates move together to make a theory
What are tectonic plates and why are they important to us?
A plate tectonics is a theory that describes the formation movements and interaction
What theory led to the plate tectonic theory?
James Hanslow
What is a plate and what is the theory of plate tectonic?
The Plate Tectonic theory tells us that there are plates on which peices of sea/ land occurs. On these boundaries, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur the most.
Which theory makes the occurrence of pangaea possible?
The theory of plate tectonics makes the occurrence of Pangaea possible. It suggests that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several large plates that move and interact with each other over time. In the case of Pangaea, these plates came together to form a supercontinent before breaking apart again.
Who is credited with the plate tectonic theory?
Alfred Wegener.
