Question

which theory explains why the island of hawaii moves a few centimeters each year? a relativity b plate tectonics c heliocentrism d evolution

Explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move relative to each other. Islands like Hawaii are on a tectonic plate that is in motion, causing the island to move a few centimeters each year. Relativity deals with space - time and gravity, heliocentrism is about the Sun - centered model of the solar system, and evolution is about biological change over time.

Answer:

B. Plate tectonics
