Generation

Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that Earth's outer shell (lithosphere) is divided into several large plates that move slowly over the more fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates interact at their boundaries through divergence (moving apart), convergence (colliding), or transform motion (sliding past each other), causing earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation. The driving force is primarily convection currents in the mantle, powered by Earth's internal heat. **Key formula:** The plate velocity can be approximated by **v = d/t**, where v is velocity (typically cm/year), d is the distance moved, and t is time elapsed, often determined using seafloor spreading rates or GPS measurements.
