Answer:
Plates interact at three types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent and transform.

Answer:

A B

Step-by-step explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle.

Plate tectonics explains why Earth's continents are moving; the theory of continental drift did not provide an explanation. Therefore, the theory of plate tectonics is more complete
