Plate tectonic is a scientific theory of Earth Science which basically defines the large scale motions of the atmosphere of the Earth. The Plate Tectonic theory is based on the continental drift concept The theory was first developed in the first decades of 20th century. According to the Plate Tectonic theory‚ the lithosphere breaks up into the tectonic plates. Currently‚ there are seven or eight major plates in the Earth. Generally‚ the lithospheric plates remain on the asthenosphere. All the

Features Plate tectonics theory‚ which is the modern theory of the motions of Earth’s layer‚ explains how geological features‚ such as mountain ranges‚ continents‚ and bodies of water move and form. An important aspect of plate tectonics theory is that the outer layer of the earth is divided into plates which move across the earth’s surface. “These plates move relative to each other‚ typically at rates of 2-4 inches per year. As the plates move‚ they interact along their boundaries” (Plate Tectonics)

boundaries by which an oceanic plate slides slowly under a continental plate into the Earth’s mantle‚ as the result of pressure and friction. After a long period of time the overriding continental plate is lifted up creating a mountain range. This is how the Himalayas were formed. Sometimes the extreme heat and pressure exerted on the subducting oceanic plate causes an uplift of magma from the mantle which rises above the surface‚ creating a volcano. When two plates are moving they don’t always slide
