What else can I help you with?
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 happens when two tectonic plates move apart?
Magma seeps up through the two plates from the mantle and form volcanos.
What is the Soft layer of the mantle on which the plates move?
its because the plates
What is the soft layer of the mantle on which plates move?
its because the plates
Plates may move because of this type of movement in the mantle?
mantle
What drives the process of plate teconics?
Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates of the Earth to move slowly. Mantle convection is when heat moves from the mantle to the surface and causes the mantle, and the tectonic plates to move very slowly.
Which layer of the earth contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates?
The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.
Why do the plates move?
because of convection currents in the mantle
Why do lithosperic PLATES move constantly?
mantle movements
What are the way plates move?
crust mantle core
What do techtonic plates move on?
the plates move on a mantle thats like tothpast the core is the only compleat liqwid
What is the mechanism called that moves or drives the tectonic plates across the surface of the earth?
The way tectonic plates move is by the heat from the core that goes up to the mantle which pushes up the rock and pushes them together to form tectonic plates. Later the tectonic plates slowly go back down until the heat of the core reaches the mantle once again.
