A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest.
Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that explains how major landforms are created as a result of Earths subterranean movements. The theory, which solidified in the 1960s, transformed the earth sciences by explaining many phenomena, including mountain building events, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
plate tectonics, theory dealing with the dynamics of Earths outer shellthe lithospherethat revolutionized Earth sciences by providing a uniform context for understanding mountain-building processes, volcanoes, and earthquakes as well as the evolution of Earths surface and reconstructing its past continents and
Evidence for the theory of plate tectonics is continental drift, appearance of younger crustal layers in the ocean, earthquakes along plate boundaries called fault lines, the presence of similar fossils and rocks on separate continents, and the matching shapes of continents that once fit together as a larger continent.
Sheared-up mountain ridges and valleys form in a narrow zone where one plate slides past another at a transform plate boundary. And a mountain chain of volcanoes forms where a plate rides over a hotspot; the volcanoes get older and lower as the plate moves them away from the hotspot.
