Continental Drift
The gradual movement of the continents across the earth’s surface through geological
time.

Tectonic Plate
A block of lithosphere that consists of the crust and the rigid, outermost part of the
mantle.

Any movement of matter that results from difference in density; may be vertical,
circular, or cyclical.

tectonic forces.
