In 3-5 sentences, what is the evidence available for movements of Earth's crust and continental plates?

1 answer

Seismic activity, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, provides evidence of movements of Earth's crust and continental plates. GPS technology and satellite imagery allow scientists to track the slow but constant movement of tectonic plates over time. Fossil records and rock formations also provide clues to past movement and shifting of continents. Additionally, the study of ocean floor spreading and the identification of magnetic striping patterns on the seafloor offer further evidence of plate movements.
