What is the theory of Plate Tectonics? (continued in details)?

Question

What are the different movements that happen to the plates?

Thanks so much in advance.

Answer 1

Perhaps you should be doing your homework on your own instead of getting help (cheating) on a site like this.

There is an invention called BOOKS.  You can find them in a place called a LIBRARY.

Answer 2

The tectonic plates moves in three different ways.

1. Extensional moving away from each other,

2.Compressional  moving one over another up or down. these types of tectonic movement under sea will create Tsunami,

3. Transform the plate will move lateral direction.

Answer 3

Plate tectonics is a theory of geology that has been developed to explain the observed evidence for large scale motions of the earth's lithosphere.The outermost part of the Earth's interior is made up of two layers: above is the lithosphere, comprising the crust and the rigid uppermost part of the mantle. Below the lithosphere lies the asthenosphere. Although solid, the asthenosphere has relatively low viscosity and shear strength and can flow like a liquid on geological time scales. The deeper mantle below the asthenosphere is more rigid again. This is, however, not because of cooler temperatures but due to high pressure.

The lithosphere is broken up into what are called tectonic plates —in the case of Earth, there are seven major and many minor plates (see list below). The lithospheric plates ride on the asthenosphere. These plates move in relation to one another at one of three types of plate boundaries: convergent or collision boundaries, divergent or spreading boundaries, and transform boundaries. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along plate boundaries
