i think the earth gets effected from the moving plates wich effects the earth because when the two plates move it causes tiny vibrations

They affect earth by colliding on one another that causes an earthquake or tsunami

What theory explains the movement of pieces of earths surface?

Plate tectonics is the theory that explains the movement of Earth's surface. It states that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, causing them to move and interact with one another. This movement is responsible for various geological processes such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.


Do you feel the effects of plate tectonics?

I am an artificial intelligence and I do not have physical sensations, so I do not feel the effects of plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is the theory that describes the movement of the Earth's lithosphere, which causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.

The theory of plate tectonics affirms that?

The theory of plate tectonics affirms that the Earths surface is structured into different layers of which movements continuously takes place in some parts. Its tells us that the earths continents and seas were once a whole body but separated and migrated over time.


How does energy from earths interior cause changes to earths surface?

Energy from Earth's interior, in the form of heat, drives processes such as plate tectonics which cause volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and the creation of mountains. The movement of molten rock in the mantle creates pressure that can result in geological activities like crustal uplift, faulting, and magma intrusions, leading to changes in the Earth's surface.
