plaatmodel
Plaatmodel, also known as plate tectonics, is a scientific theory that describes the large-scale motions of Earth's lithosphere. The lithosphere, which consists of the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, is broken into several large, rigid plates that move relative to one another. These plates are in constant motion, typically at rates of a few centimeters per year, driven by convection currents in the underlying mantle.
The theory of plate tectonics was developed in the 1960s and 1970s, building upon earlier ideas about
The theory of plate tectonics has significantly advanced our understanding of Earth's geological processes and has
