The structure of the Earth relates to plate tectonics as in the Earth structure there is the mantle layer, crust layer, inner and outer layer etc. The crust layer on top of the Earth is not a solid layer, the layer the broke up into big chunks which are now called tectonic plates.
Plate tectonics is the theory used to explain the structure of the Earth's various formations and plate boundaries between the major tectonic plates.
Earth.
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.
Plate tectonics on earth are vigorous and ongoing. Plate tectonics on Mars are a matter of debate. Long thought to be only in Mars distant past, there is a shift in opinion on the question of plate tectonics on Mars, and some (not all) scientists now believe that there is mild and sporadic plate tectonics happening on Mars to this day. But all agree that if that is the case, it is a fraction of those happening on earth.
No, the sun's energy heats the Earth's atmosphere and surface, but it does not directly drive plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is primarily driven by heat from the Earth's interior, specifically by the heat generated by radioactive decay in the mantle.
They are the same thing.

Earth.
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
the plate tectonics will be flat and no more volcanoes.
plate tectonics=D
No it does not.
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.

"Geology" would be the best match for the word tectonics. Tectonics refers to the study of the Earth's lithosphere and its movements, which includes processes like earthquakes, mountain-building, and plate tectonics.
