    Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that explains how major landforms are created by Earth's movements of its lithosphere, which comprises the crust and upper mantle. The lithosphere consists of two types of crust - continental crust and oceanic crust - which differ in their composition, thickness, density, color, age, and features. Understanding the differences between continental and oceanic crust is important for comprehending plate tectonics.

    how major landforms are created as
    a result of Earth's subterranean
    movements.

    •The Earth's lithosphere comprises two
    main layers: the crust and the upper
    mantle. Within the crust, we can
    distinguish two distinct types: the
    continental crust and the oceanic crust.
    To better understand the differences
    between them, let's examine an
    illustration.
