主　　题：Earth divergent tectonics 

摘      要：Plate tectonics is the most important discovery in Earth Science in the 20th Century and is the core theory of Solid Earth Science. It describes that the Earth’ s lithosphere is divided into several plates that slide on top of the asthenosphere and move relative to each other along divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries. From a physical point of view.
