Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The theory of plate tectonics revolutionized the earth sciences by explaining how the movement of geologic plates causes mountain building, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to the theory of plate tectonics, large pieces of Earth’s lithosphere, called plates, move slowly over Earth’s surface driven by convection currents in the mantle. Plates can include oceanic and/or continental lithosphere. Plate interactions help cause earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
Detailed explanation-3: -Their movement and effects at plate boundaries are explained e.g. earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, ocean ridges/trenches, subduction (part of the rock cycle).
