no .its like a rectangle
these are the plates under the land and they are spins round and when they meet and they form the continents
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
Yes, tectonic plates are also known as crustal plates.
harry hess named the tectonic plates but I'm not sure why =/
Tectonic plates move in various ways, one being through the process of subduction where one plate is forced beneath another. This movement can lead to volcanic activity, creating islands as magma rises to the surface and solidifies. Additionally, plates can also move apart at mid-ocean ridges, allowing magma to rise and form new land.
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
Yes. Tectonic plates are in fact mostly solid.
No the tectonic plates are on top of the crust.
The tectonic plates float on the lithosphere. This overlies the asthenosphere.
