The theory of plate tectonics describes the large-scale motion of the seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of Earth's lithosphere. This scientific framework was developed in the early 20th century, though it was not widely until the 1960s. It posits that the outer shell of the planet is divided into several rigid segments that on the semi-liquid asthenosphere below. The interaction at the boundaries of these plates is responsible for geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
