Question

Is the following sentence true or false? The theory of plate tectonics explains the formation, movement, and subduction of Earth’s plates.

Answer 1

true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth's lithosphere is broken into plates

Plate tectonics explains how plates move and interact with each other

Plate tectonics theory helps to understand earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.

Plate tectonics explains the process of subduction,

Subduction is where one plate is forced under another

One of the plate eventually melts into the mantle

Plate melting recycles Earth's crustal material
