Earth's lithosphere is not a solid mass but it is composed of several solid, irregularly shaped rocks or plates that float on the mantle. The plates sizes are different and fall in the range of a few hundred to thousands of kilometers. The plates are found to be approximately 100 km ...
But this process does not always happen easily as the plates are stiff, rough, and under a lot of pressure from surrounding plates. The tectonic plates tend to pull at or push on each other on either side of a fault for long periods of time without moving much at all, wh...
