Question

PLEASE ANSWER WILL MARK BRAINLIEST AND WORTH 20 PTS
A scientist measured the distance between fixed points on two different plates over the course of a decade and found that the distance did not change. Does this result support the theory of plate tectonics? Why or why not?

Answer 1

No because the tectonic plate theory says that they move but if they didn’t move then it proves it wrong

Answer 2

Answer:  No, the above result does not support the plate tectonic theory.

       According to the plate tectonic theory, a plate either oceanic or continental plate moves at an average speed of about 0.5-10 cm per year.

                   Tectonisms has been taking place continuously and the distance the plate travels is estimated in terms of decades, as a small change in the distance in a year is not so prominent.
