The Earth's crust comprises a series of interlocking plates which are less dense than the materials which comprise the underlying mantle. The crustal plates therefore float on the mantle and move with the mantle as it undergoes a cooling convection driven by the heat of the core. This movements means that some plate boundaries are being squashed together (a destructive boundary) while others are being moved apart (a constructive boundary).
Yes, the singular form is normally plate tectonic or tectonic plate so the plural would be plate tectonics or tectonic plates. Dumb crap.
Creationist theory and plate tectonics do not disagree in any way.
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.
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
Plate tectonics
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.

yes it represets plate tectonics
instruments used in plate tectonics?

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
Creationist theory and plate tectonics do not disagree in any way.
