The Importance of Plate Tectonic Theory

By Peggy J Parks

The plate tectonics theory holds that earth¿s continents are not fixed in place, nor are they ever still; rather, they sit atop enormous slabs of rock known as plates that are constantly on the move. The Importance of Plate Tectonics Theory examines the core idea behind the theory, how it developed, and the many ways that it has influenced daily life, culture, science, and societal change.
