PLATE TECTONICS Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that explains how the Earth’s outer shell is divided into large plates that move over the mantle. Their movements create earthquakes, build mountains, and form volcanoes, shaping the surface of our planet. Understanding plate tectonics helps us make sense of Earth’s past and prepare for natural hazards in the future.
