It is a suitable name because tectonics comes from the Greek word tekton which means builder, and plate tectonics refers to the building of the features on Earth's surface due to deformation caused by plate movements...
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
The continents move.
Plate tectonics helps us to explain continental drift.
The movement of crustal or lithospheric plates is a part of the theory of plate tectonics.
Are you referring to plate tectonics whichI believe is more than a theory. At one time all the continents were together in a land mass called Pangea. Sea floor spreading caused them to separate forming the present continents which generally look like a jig-saw puzzle you can put together. It was Alfred Wagner, a German, who first pointed this out in 1911 though the reason s were not known at the time.
plate tectonics
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.
the branch of geology for plate tectonics is asthenosphere.
how are volcanoes and the process of plate tectonics related
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.
Question is too broad. How do they help what? Are you asking how plate tectonics WORK?
continental drift is caused by plate tectonics
