Question
what theory explains that the lithosphere is broken into large, solid tectonic plates that sit on top of the asthenosphere? (1 point) theory of continental drift theory of plate tectonics theory of divergent boundaries theory of the mid - atlantic ridge (mar)
The theory of plate tectonics states that the lithosphere is divided into large, solid tectonic plates that rest on the asthenosphere. The theory of continental drift mainly focuses on the movement of continents. The theory of divergent boundaries is about a type of plate boundary. The theory of the Mid - Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is about a specific geological feature. So the correct answer is the theory of plate tectonics.
