Definition
Glossary of "Life (9th ed.)" by Sadava et al. (2011)
- The scientific study of the structure and movements of Earth’s lithospheric plates, which are the cause of continental drift.
Glossary of "Environmental Science: Earth as a Living Planet (2nd ed.)" by Botkin & Keller (1998)
- A model of global tectonics that suggests that the outer layer of Earth, known as the lithosphere, is composed of several large plates that move relative to one another. Continents and oceans basins are passive riders on these plates.
