Well, technically, convergent boundaries can be wherever there are tectonic plates, and convergent boundaries are just where two plates push together forming a mountain range or a mid-ocean ridge. So it can be on any layer of earth. By the way I'm only in 6th grade

What is the tectonic plates in earth's crust?
plates of the earth's crust that float on top of the molted mantle layer.
If the tectonic plates float on a layer of the earths crust what is it called?
The mantle or perhaps you are referring to the asthenosphere, the upper layer of the earth's mantle, below the lithosphere, in which there is relatively low resistance to plastic flow and convection is thought to occur.
What plants drift and float in top layer of the ocean?
the top layer of the ocean is called the Epipelagic
Which layer of the sun can be seen from earth?
The photosphere is the layer of the sub that can be seen from earth.
What layer of gases surrounds the earth?
The awnser is atmosphere. It surrounds the earth protecting the life on earth. Thank you for using this Awner.
Tectonic plates float on a layer of earth called the what?
Lithosphere
Plasticlike layer of Earth on which the lithosperic plates float and move around?
Asthenosphere
What is the tectonic plates in earth's crust?
plates of the earth's crust that float on top of the molted mantle layer.
What layer of the earth do plate tectonics float on?
The earth's tectonic plates are said to "float" on layers of magma, which is molten, or very hot liquid rock deep under the surface of theearth.
The tectonic plates float on what layer of earth?
The earth's tectonic plates are said to "float" on layers of magma, which is molten, or very hot liquid rock deep under the surface of theearth.
Tectonic plates float on a layer of the earth called the?
The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
What layer of earth forms the continents?
the crust. the layer below that is the layer of molten lava called the mantle. the continental plates move and float on this. this is known as continental drift
What layer of earth makes up the techtonic plates?
Tectonic Plates float on the semi-molten mantle, and is part of the Earth's crust.
According to the theory of plate tectonics on which layer of Earth do plates float?
These plates make up the top layer of the Earth called the lithosphere. Directly under that layer is the asthenosphere. It's a flowing area of molten rock.
What do the 7 plates in the lithosphere float on?
The tectonic plates which form Earth's crust move on top of the outer layer of the mantle. This layer of the mantle is known as the asthenosphere.
What plate boundaries make up the earths crust layer?
All of them. Divergent (spreading ridges), convergent (subduction zones), and transform (strike-slip). An example of each include the following: Divergent: Mid-Atlantic spreading ridge Convergent: Cascade Arc Transform: San Andreas Fault
What type of plate boundary is asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is not a plate boundary. It is the layer of Earth's mantle on which tectonic plates float.
