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 earth's crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called what?
Fault.
A crack in the earths crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called a?
Fault.
What is the movement of the huge solid rock plates of the Earth?
its called tectonic plate
What does the continental drift theory explain which the plate tectonic theory doesn't?
The continental drift theory primarily explains the historical movement of continents over geological time, proposing that they were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea and have since drifted apart. In contrast, plate tectonic theory provides a more comprehensive framework that includes the mechanisms driving this movement, such as mantle convection, and accounts for the interactions between tectonic plates, including their formation, destruction, and the geological phenomena associated with these processes. Essentially, continental drift focuses on the "where" and "how far" of continent movement, while plate tectonics delves into the "why" and the broader dynamics of Earth's lithosphere.

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?
A Crack in the earth's crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called what?
Fault.

Fault.
What is the crack in the earth's crust caused by tectonic plate movement called?
Fault.
What is the movement of the huge solid rock plates of the Earth?
its called tectonic plate
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.

Which theory views the earth's surface as composed of slowly moving plates?
Plate tectonics.
