5 Questions
What is plate tectonic theory?
Plate tectonic theory is a theory about moving lithospheric plates which leads to different types of plate boundaries such as convergent, divergent, and transform fault.
What does plate tectonic theory support?
Plate tectonic theory supports the continental drift theory of Alfred Wegener.
What question does plate tectonic theory answer?
Plate tectonic theory answers the question of how the plates move.
What is convection current?
Convection current is one of the methods of heat transfer, which is the process by which heat is transferred by movement of a heated fluid such as air or water.
What are the three methods of heat transfer?
The three methods of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation.
