Plate tectonics is the theory that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several tectonic plates that move relative to each other. This movement can cause earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building. It can also affect the climate, as the movement of the plates can change the distribution of land and sea, which can in turn affect the circulation of the atmosphere and oceans.
