How do we know about tectonic plates?

What are some ways that we can track tectonic plates?  
Hint : page 115 Earth Materials and Process.

You can wait a long time or there are things that can tell you whats going on the the plates.

You use this thing which shows where Earth Quakes are then you take all that and put all that together and line them up.<3 Or wait until your deid not suggested<3 !!

We can track tectonic plates by measuring the plate motion

Well, you'd have to be immortal to witness the shifting of the earth. But, we can reply on clues like; Strange fossils that don't fit the climate. Plants that don't fit the climate. And things like that!

But, It'd be cool to be immortal. And to WATCH as the earth changes and moves... And as cali sinks into the ocean. Thank god my aunt knows how to swim. Har, har.

Someways to track tectonic plates is using Satellite Lasers the scientists will aim them at the Satellite to track the tectonic plates.

Some ways you can track tectonic plates is by GPS sensors and you can measure their motion.

A way that you can track down tectonic plates are, look for deep parts of the earths and if there are really big cracks in the earth then you have tectonic plate. (I Guessed I actually dont know.)

Oops! I forgot this! I missed it on the science page! You can use a seismograph-thing to measure where the earthquakes are worse, then you can make a theory on how and where this continent will shift!

One way we can track tectonic plates uses lasers and satellites. The scientists on the ground aim laser pulses at a satellite. The pulses reflect off the satellite and are used to determine an exact location on the ground.

They can be tracked by space based geodetic measurements.

You can wait a long time and then check and see how much they have moved and witch why they are moving.

Some ways we can track tectonic plates are some kind a radar thing that they use to find the or they could find out from how much the earth surface moves.

You can wait a long time and then track where they moved and how long it took and stuff

You can wait a wile and then track where they moved and how long it took.

You can wait and track the changes of the plates.

We could use a wave monitor to track the plate tectonics.

The way we track plate tectonics can be by a wave monitor or something else.

so they can tell when the continents are moving because satellite .
