{
plate tectonics }
a geological theory which considers the earth '
s crust as divided into a number of large relatively rigid plates ,
which move relatively independently on the more plastic asthenosphere under the influence of magmatic upwellings ,
so as to drift apart ,
slide past ,
or collide with each other ,
causing the formation ,
breakup ,
or merging of continents ,
and causing volcanism ,
the building of mountain ranges ,
and the subduction of one plate beneath another .
In recent decades a large body of data have accumulated to support the theory and provide some details of the mechanisms at work .
One set of supporting observations consists of data showing that the continents have slowly moved relative to each other over long periods of time ,
a phenomenon called {
continental drift }.
Africa and South America ,
for example ,
have apparently moved apart from a connected configuration at about 2 to 3 cm per year over tens of millions of years .
