    <skos:definition xml:lang="en">A theory of global tectonics in which the lithosphere is 
divided into a number of plates whose pattern of horizontal movement is 
that of torsionally rigid bodies that interact with one another at their 
boundaries, causing seismic and tectonic activity along these boundaries.</skos:definition>
