Date: 2023-10-26

Tectonic plates are massive slabs of Earth's lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates continually move, causing earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the creation of mountain ranges. The theory of plate tectonics explains the dynamics of these movements and their role in shaping our planet's geology and landscapes.
