They use radiometry and pyrometry
NASA uses the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satelite (TESS) telescope that employes this technology
This telescope measures the brightness/luminosity of stars. When this brightness drops regularly, every more or less in the same number of years, then there is the likelihood of a planet orbiting the star. The dip in brightness of the star is directly proportional to the size of the planet and the distance between the star and the orbiting planet.
Intetrference Competition: Competition that happens between two animals when someone interferes with someone else's foraging essentially.
Answer:
The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways in relation to each other. They move at a rate of one to two inches (three to five centimeters) per year.
