Tectonic plates is a theory that the lithosphere is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and continental plates come together, spread apart, and interact at boundaries all over the planet.
Tectonic plates float on top of the molten rock and moving around the planet. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or tectonic shift.
<u>Answer:</u>
Alluvial fans are evidence that the Death Valley is a tectonically active region.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Alluvial fans can be only formed by the slow and gradual depositional action of a river.
- But for an alluvial to be formed, it is primarily necessary for the river to continuously carry and deposit sediments for a long period of time.
- The supply of sediments done by the Death Valley in California provides evidence that it is a tectonically active region.
