The Theory of Plate Tectonics
-The Theory of plate tectonics shows that the plates move and cause earthquakes, Mountains being created, and volcanos erupting.
-The lithosphere (the crust and the upper mantle) is divided into many large plate like sections that move as seperate.
-Alfred Wegener (German Geologist and lecturer) discovered the theory of plate tectonics in the 20th century. -The scientific community made fun of Wegener and Flatly and denied their theory.
-The 7 different plates are:
-Eurasian plate, African plate, Indo-Austrailian plate, Antarctic plate, Pacific plate, North American plate,
South American plate.
