How does ocean trenches have to do with plate tectonics?

i think that if anyone had to answer this, it would be someone with professional knowledge on the topic. I would probably say that someone like a PROFESSOR. Plate tectonics is a huge topic, and it needs constant thinking and deep thought into why each tectonic plate actually moves as it does. I personally think that the Atlantic Ocean is one that expands due to the fact that it simply is HUGE and vast as it is.


The theory that the landmasses on the earths crust slowly move away or toward each other?

Plate tectonics is the theory that the landmasses on the earth's surface move. The pieces of the earth's surface sit on liquid rock beneath it, which causes these plates to move away or toward each other.

What is considered a scientific theory?

In science, a theory is something that is not fully proven, but has strong supporting evidence. Some common theories that are well known, and seen by most people as fact include; Evolution, Plate Tectonics, and Gravity. All three of these have enough evidence to be scientifically sound, but we have not yet given 100% proof to turn them from scientific theory into scientific law.

What is the theory that the earths crust is broken into pieces?

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.
