Tectonic Plates Movement
Scientific theory of Plate tectonics suggests that the lithosphere undergoes horizontal and vertical movement with compensating motion of the underlying asthenosphere and deeper mantle. Earths surface appears to be still but it is actually constantly on the move. Plate Tectonics Nepal Plate tectonics affects humans in several important ways. Tectonic plates movement . Heat from the mantle is the source of energy driving plate tectonics. The movement of the plate tectonic boundaries can be classified as follows. Movement in the asthenosphere contributes to the motion of the lithospheric plates. This is the earths crust and the upper part of the mantleThe lithosphere is divided into plates some of which are very large and can be entire continents. This is marked by the famous San Andreas Fault.
