What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
A crack in the earths crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called a?
Fault.
A Crack in the earth's crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called what?
Fault.
What is the movement of the huge solid rock plates of the Earth?
its called tectonic plate
The difference between plate boundaries and plate tectonics -?
Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that Earth's surface is broken up into huge, slow-moving slabs called tectonic plates. The movement of these plates drives many geologic processes including most earthquakes and volcanoes. Plate boundaries are the areas where two tectonic plates meet.
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?

What is the therory that explains the movement of tectonic plates?
The crustal movement of the plates in the earth are not completely understood by scientist and considered a phenomenon. It is an accepted theory that the strength of the water in contrast to the weakness of the land make the movement of the plates.
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to the theory of the plate tectonics?
They are both caused by movement of tectonic plates.
What is the theory that the lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around?
That would be the theory of plate tectonics.
What is another name for the plate tectonic theory?
The Theory of Plate Tectonics?

What is the theory of the plate tectonis?
the theory of plate tectonics is that subduction occures on the edges of the tectonic plates creating a movement. When the tectonic plates push or pull apart with enough pressure an earthquake starts. That is why California has major earth quakes. The pacific plate is grinding California in a horizontal movement. Once the pressure is released a tsunami could happen.
What is the plate movement of a destructive plate?
tectonic shift
The idea that Earths lithosphere is divided into large moving sections is called the?
plate tectonic theory
