उत्तर
This statement is True.
Explanation:
The plates of the outermost layer of the Earth, known as the lithosphere, are indeed in continuous motion. This movement is driven by tectonic forces caused by heat from the Earth’s interior, which leads to the movement of tectonic plates on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. This movement causes geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity and the formation of mountain ranges.
