Misconception: The edge of a continent is the same thing as a plate boundary. There is a natural sensibility to Geologyâs Theory of Plate Tectonics. Obviously, continents have moved, because of the puzzle-like fit of the continent edges across the Atlantic Ocean.
Geologists have an explanationâa scientific theoryâof how the Earth's surface behaves called plate tectonics. Tectonics means large-scale structure. So plate tectonics says that the large-scale structure of the Earth's outer shell is a set of plates. (see the map) Tectonic Plates. Tectonic plates don't quite match the continents and the oceans on the Earth's surface. The North America plate, for instance, extends from the west coast of the U.S. and Canada into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
