What does the theory of plate tectonics maintain?(這板塊構造學說的理論講些什么？)

Plate tectonics explores primarily the motion of lithospheric blocks and belongs to the category of dynamic geotectonics.(板塊構造學主要在于探索巖石田塊體的運動，屬于動力大地構造學范疇。)

Signs of compression in the planet's plate tectonics even suggest that cooling has actually caused it to shrink over time.(行星的盤狀構造的壓縮標志甚至暗示，冷卻已經導致它隨著時間在收縮。)

Plate tectonics is now almost universally accepted.(如今板塊構造幾乎被普遍接受。)

There is a considerable overlap between Wegener's concepts and the later widely embraced plate tectonics theory.(魏格納的概念與后來被廣泛接受的板塊構造理論之間有相當大的重疊。)

With the ocean lost, Venus could not kick-start plate tectonics.(隨著海洋的消失，金星可能再也不能進行板塊重組了。)

The tectonic magmatism suggests that the plate tectonics had operated in the north margin of Songnen Massif in the Neoproterozoic.(這一構造-巖漿作用暗示著松嫩地塊北緣在新元古代板塊構造體制就開始運行。)

Earth's internal heat, fueled by radioactivity, provides the energy for plate tectonics and continental drift, mountain building, and earthquakes.(地球內部因放射而產生的熱量為板塊運動、大陸漂移、造山運動和地震提供了能量。)

It is divided into four major sections: Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, GPS, and Space Technology at Work.(它被分為四個主要的部分：板塊構造學，地震，全球定位系統和起作用的空間技術。)
