The theory describing the movement of the plates is called plate motion theory.
true or false?

FALSE

Explanation:

The plate tectonic theory refers to the movement of the tectonic plates from one place to another over the viscous layer of the asthenosphere. This plate motion is possible due to the formation of convection current in the mantle, which is because of the heat energy provided by the core of the earth. These convection currents are responsible for the plate movement, by breaking and joining the crust, which leads to the sharing of three types of tectonic boundaries namely the divergent, transform and convergent plate boundary.

This movement of plates is known as the Plate tectonic theory.

Thus, the above given statement is FALSE.
