the thought of the paragraph. Choose from the options
inside the parenthesis.
Plate tectonic theory provided an explanation about the

_______(1)________ (composition, movements) of lithospheric plates.
Tectonic is a term derived from the Greek word tekton, which means
“builder”. _______(2)________ (Oceanic plates, Tectonic plates) are
massive , irregular slabs of solid rock that envelope the surface of the
Earth. The theory of tectonic plates states that the Earth`s
_______(3)________ (innermost, outermost) layer is fragmented into a
dozen or more large and small solid slabs called lithospheric plate.
These are constantly in motion relative to one another as they ride a
top the hotter and more mobile material known as_______(4)________
(asthenosphere, lithosphere). There are three types of plate
movements- divergent, convergent and transform fault. The relative
motion of plates is caused by the heat produced in the core causing

convection in the _______(5)________ (core, mantle). The convection
current rotates very slowly and as it moves it drags the plates along.
