It makes perfect sense and explains a lot of features
on the earth that would otherwise be hard to account for. I know I learned about it but I am not sure if it was
in a formal school situation or just part of the reading I do. Probably the latter. There are quite a few science
fiction novels that mention plate tectonics in relation to earth and fictional worlds. I guess most folks would
be surprised to learn we live on a floating skin seperated from firey magma by a relatively thin layer of not so
solid rock. What a marvelous world we live on, even without fiction to make it more so.
