These two theories are related because they are continuity from one another. The theory of plate tectonics insinuates that the crust layer is broken into multiple pieces, this is caused by the pressure of the mantle layer, which managed to break the crust where it is thinner. The theory of continental drift insinuates that the tectonic plates move around the Earth because of the pressure from the hot semi-liquid mantle layer.

-Hardness
-Luster or shine
-Color/streak
Explanation:
Olivine -
It is the primary component of the upper layer of mantle , Olivine is one of the common mineral present on the subsurface of Earth .
The structure of olivine is neosilicate . The general formula is
( Mg²⁺ , Fe²⁺ )₂SiO₄
It has an independent unit of SiO₄ , which is independent , having a tetrahedral structure .
Yes because the Earth was one big ocean at one point
A mushroom rock, also called rock pedestal, or a pedestal rock, is a naturally occurring rock whose shape, as its name implies, resembles a mushroom. The rocks are deformed in a number of different ways: by erosion and weathering, glacial action, or from a sudden disturbance.Pedestal rocks generally form in sandstone/shale terrains, with differential erosion producing a sandstone cap on a shale base.
