Description The key principle of plate tectonics is that the lithosphere exists as separate and distinct tectonic plates, which float on the fluid-like (visco-elastic solid) asthenosphere. The relative fluidity of the asthenosphere allows the tectonic plates to undergo motion in different directions. Note: That the Indian and Australian plate aren't separated; they are together forming the Indo-Australian Plate * 1 Synopsis on development * 2 Key principles * 3 Types of plate boundaries o 3.1 Transform (conservative) boundaries o 3.2 Divergent (constructive) boundaries o 3.3 Convergent (destructive) boundaries * 4 Driving forces of plate motion o 4.1 Friction o 4.2 Gravitation o 4.3 External forces o 4.4 Relative significance of each mechanism * 5 Major plates o 5.1 Continental drift o 5.2 Floating continents o 5.3 Plate tectonic theory + 5.3.1 Explanation of magnetic striping + 5.3.2 Subduction discovered + 5.3.3 Mapping with earthquakes o 5.4 Geological paradigm shift * 6 Biogeographic implications on fauna and flora * 7 Plate tectonics on other planets * 8 Metaphoric uses * 9 See also * 10 References * 11 External links
