  • Tectonic processes started about 3.3 and 3.5 billion years ago.
  • Through the generation of Tectonic plate, there are melting of rocks as well as generation of sediments
  • The types of boundaries that exist between those tectonic plates can be categorized into 4, base on the the movement of the plates, and these are;
  1. divergent boundaries
  2. convergent boundaries
  3. transform fault boundaries
  4. plate boundary zones

Therefore, plate tectonic  gives explanation about Earth's outer shell.
