    Plate tectonic theory. The Earth is comprised of 6-8 major plates and several smaller ones. The plates are 100-200 km thick and they always move 2 cm per year. Convection currents in the asthenosphere (liquid magma) move the plates. Where plates collide, move apart, or slide past are areas where earthquakes and volcanoes occur.
