The driving force of plate tectonics is convection in the mantle. Check for understanding: Plate tectonics theory explains that: a.The mantle is divided into several plates that move on top of the crust. a.The outer layer of the Earth is divided into plates which move on top of the crust...

Critique and interpret major types of evidence supporting the Theory of Plate Tectonics. Plate tectonics is the most important concept in modern geology. This section will introduce you to the concept of plate tectonics, how it works, why it is important and how it is shaping the world today....
Learn about the plate tectonic theory evidence. Discover what the theory of plate tectonics explains about earthquakes and the shapes of the...
Passage Three The theory of plate tectonics describes the motions of the lithosphere, the comparatively rigid outer layer of the Earth that includes all the crust and part of the underlying mantle. The lithosphere is divided into a few dozen plates of various sizes and shapes, in general the ...
Causes of Plate Tectonics Hot magma in the Earth moves toward the surface, cools, then sinks again. Creates convection currents beneath the plates that cause the plates to move. SOURCE OF HEAT=RADIOACTIVE DECAY OF UNSTABLE ISOTOPESRELEASES ENERGY!
