How Earth’s Plates Move Plate Tectonics. The Lithosphere The plates of the lithosphere fit together like puzzle pieces and float on the asthenosphere.

Plate Tectonics The theory of plate tectonics is based on the theory that plate tectonics explain the formation, movement, and subduction of Earth’s plates.

Plate Tectonics. Plate tectonics describes the motion of Earth’s plates. Movement of plates can cause earthquakes!

The earth rotates on its axis from west to east, causing places in the east to see the sun first.

The Earth has 4 major layers  Crust  Mantle  Inner Core  Outer Core.

Plate Boundaries Lithospheric Plates are pushed and pulled around by the underlying convection cells in the upper mantle (Asthenosphere).
