Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The system of ideas behind plate tectonics theory suggests that Earth’s outer shell (lithosphere) is divided into several plates that glide over the Earth’s rocky inner layer above the soft core (mantle). The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth’s mantle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plate tectonics is the theory that states that Earth’s outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth’s mantle. This strong outer layer is called the lithosphere. Plate tectonics is the modern version of continental drift.
