Question

the earths plates moved over millions of years, bringing continents and other features of the earth to their present arrangement. how is this movement of the lithosphere explained? continental drift the theory of plate tectonics the principle of superposition nuclear fusion

Explanation:

• Continental drift is an outdated theory that only focused on continents moving.
• The theory of plate tectonics explains the movement of the lithosphere (which includes plates) comprehensively, considering how plates interact (diverge, converge, transform) over millions of years to shape the Earth's features.
• The principle of superposition is about the order of rock layers in geology (older layers at the bottom).
• Nuclear fusion is a process in stars (not related to lithosphere movement).

Answer:

the theory of plate tectonics
