the plate tectonic theory is the theory that the distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes provide evidence that the Earths crust is divided into slowly moving tectonic plates
describe the global distribution of earthquakes
along plate margins
outline one way the plate tectonic theory explains the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes
earthquakes and volcanoes are distributed along plate margin. the tectonic plate theory says that the plates move against each other, causing vast amounts of energy. this energy causes volcanoes and earthquakes.
