The Theory Of Plate Tectonics
The Theory of plate tectonics explains how the Earth works. It is the active movement of the plates. This theory developed in the 1960's and 1970's. The theory of Plate Tectonics is known as the "Most important geological theory ever developed". According to the theory of plate tectonics, the Lithosphere has 7 large plates and 18 smaller plates. These plates are...
1)Antarctic Plate
2)African Plate
3)Australian Plate
4)Eurasion Plate
5)Pacific Plate
6)North American Plate
7)South American Plate
These plates are floating on semi-fluid rock! Did you know these plates move and interact. When these plates move against each other, it will usually create intense activity such as earthquakes, mountain building and volcanoes!
