Theory that states that earths crust and upper mantle are broken into sections which move around on a spcial layer of th emantle?
plate tectonics
What is the Earth's crust broken into large pieces called?
They are called plates!
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 is the large chunk of earths crust?
Earth's crust is broken into sections called tectonic plates. They each float on the mantle, as part of the Earth called the lithosphere. Each is separated by highly seismic regions that usually spawn volcanoes. One of which is the Ring of Fire in the Pacific.
What is also called the earths crust?
The mantal
Earths Litosphere Is Broken Into Separate Sections Called?
Earths lithosphere is made up of upper mantle. The earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections and it is called as tectonic plates or plate tectonics.
What is the lithospheres broken separate sections called?
The lithosphere is made up of the "upper mantle" and earth's crust.The lithosphere is broken into separate sections called plate tectonics or tectonic plates.

The lithosphere is broken into sperate sections called?
Plate tectonics that are in slow, constant motion driven by convection currents in the mantle.
What is the theory called that describes Earth's crust and upper mantle as being broken into sections?
The Theory of Plate-techtonics

What is the earths second layer called?
mantle
What is broken into tectonic plates?
The Earths upper layer which consists of the Crust and Upper Mantle makes up the Tectonic Plates. This layer is called the Lithosphere.
