What else can I help you with?
How many tectonic plates do we have?
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
What are sections of the lithosphere called?
These are known as tectonic plates.
What are tectonic plates and plate boundaries?
Tectonic plates are plates underneath the ground we stand on that help to form the structure of the earth, when two tectonic plates colide they create terrains such as mountains. they have also been known to cause some Tsunami's.
What are the blocks of lithosphere that form the crust?
These are known as tectonic plates.
Were Is the place where tectonic plates touch is known as the?
The place where tectonic plates touch is known as a plate boundary. At plate boundaries, tectonic activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur due to the movement and interaction of the plates. There are three types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform.
What are the subdivision of lithosphere?
Lithosphere is categorized into two sections. They are crust and upper most mantle. Crust includes continental and oceanic crust and technology.
What tectonic plates move the cracks that occur are known as faults?
True
What do you call the pieces of the Earth's crust?
The pieces of the Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle and interact with each other, causing movements such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What sections of Earth's crust ad upper mantle?
That would be the lithosphere. This is broken into sections known as lithospheric (or tectonic) plates.
What do you call overlapping portions of two continents?
Overlapping portions of two continents are known as continental plates or tectonic plates. These plates can collide, separate, or slide past each other due to the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
What is a set of cracks that forms when two tectonic plates are pulling away from each other known as?
Divergent Plate Boundary. A Rift Valley forms between the two plates.
