Plate tectonics is the geologic theory that Earth's crust is made up of rigid plates that float on the surface of the planet. The movement of the plates toward or away from each other either directly or indirectly creates the major geologic features at Earth's surface. Plate tectonics revolutionized the way geologists view Earth. Like the theory of evolution in biology, plate tectonics is the unifying concept of geology.
