There are two main evidences of plate tectonics:
Paleomagnetism- We find that ancient rocks have preserved the magnetism of Earth that was present at that time. Studying the paleomagnetism records, we have found out the polar wandering path, i.e. the path through which the poles moved on the surface of the Earth. The polar wandering path shows clearly that the continents were in a different position than they are now. Even Earth's field reversals are recorded in the rocks.
Earthquake patterns- The earthquake patterns clearly mark the boundaries of the crustal plates which further boosts the credibility of the plate tectonics model.

What will happen to the earth if plate tectonics will not take place give the answer?
the plate tectonics will be flat and no more volcanoes.
Why is plate tectonics theory thought to be a unifying theory?
Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
What causes a crater on a volcano?
plate tectonics and plate boundries
Why do plate tectonics occur?
i do not think anyone knows in the whole world then...come really that's why they invented this site
Does seismologic evidence support plate tectonics?
yes it represets plate tectonics
What is evidence for plate tectonics?
Coriolis effect.
Is there evidence of plate tectonics on Venus?
There is no conclusive evidence of plate tectonics on Venus. Although Venus does have tectonic features such as fractures and faults, they do not show the same pattern of movement and subduction observed on Earth. Additionally, Venus lacks evidence of large-scale crustal recycling associated with plate tectonics.
What are some evidence of plate tectonics?
The ring of fire.
Does the moon have plate tectonics?
No, the moon does not have plate tectonics like Earth. The moon is a geologically inactive body with a solid, unmoving crust. There is no evidence of plate movements or continental drift on the moon.
What forms of evidence were used to help gather evidence for the existence of pangaea?
Plate tectonics led to the theory of Pangaea.
Which of these does NOT provide some evidence for plate tectonics?
We don't answer questions from printed/copyrighted materials.
What are some features of the ocean floor that provide evidence for plate tectonics?
they found fossils
All of the following are evidence supporting plate tectonics except for A changes in the moon's orbit to shifting plates B hot spots forming island chains C measurement of plate motion D evidenc?
Changes in the moon's orbit do not support plate tectonics. However, evidence such as hot spots forming island chains, measurement of plate motion, and other geological evidence like seafloor spreading and the distribution of fossils support the theory of plate tectonics.
What geographical features provide evidence for plate tectonics?
Submarine mountain ranges, like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and deep oceanic trenches, such as the Mariana Trench, are evidence for plate tectonics. Earthquakes and volcanic activity along plate boundaries also support the theory of plate movement. Additionally, the distribution of rock types, fossils, and ancient climate indicators across continents provide further evidence for plate tectonics.
What can minerals in rocks show that provide evidence for plate tectonics?
I can't find it in my packet either.
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
