Which statement accurately describes plate tectonics? a) pieces of the lithosphere move quickly and constantly. b) the motion of subduction drives plate movement. c) when one plates slides under another, it is called a convection current. d) the lithosphere is broken into sections called plates.

d) The lithosphere is broken into sections called plates.

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is the movement of the lithosphere and is responsible for such phenomena as volcanoes and earthquakes. The lithosphere is the exterior layer of the earth about a hundred kilometers thick. This layer is broken into large sized plates, about seven medium plates and numerous smaller plates.  

These plates move a couple of inches every year from each other and are the cause of volcanoes and earthquakes.
