What was the name of the single continent that comprised all of today’s continents, according to tectonic plate theory?

Due to the presence of fossils common to

different continents.

Cracks or fissures in a plate, caused by motion inside the lithosphere.

It states that the surface of the geosphere consists of a rigid layer called the lithosphere, which in turn is

fragmented into plates.

Pangea

Describe how these geological features move: oceanic ridges

Tectonic plates meet and collide. One of them sinks below the other, creating deep trenches.

The magma that creates the lithosphere bursts out of them and the plates separate,

creating mountains on the ocean bottom.

Fissures are created in a plate, and this causes earth tremors.
