What are the 2 parts of the lithospheric plates?
The crust and upper mantle
How do plates push together?
Both continental and oceanic plates float on the top surface of the mantle, which is divided into convection cells. The movement of these convection cells drag the plates along: where convection causes the mantle material to fall the plates are pushed together and where convection causes the mantle material to rise the plates are pulled apart.
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 allows plates of the lithosphere to move?
Lithospheric plates are regions of Earth's crust and upper mantle that are fractured into plates that move across a deeper plasticine mantle. Hopefully this will help :)
Earth's crust and upper mantle are broken into sections called?
They are broken into sections which we call Plates.
What do lithospheric plate movements have to do with convection?
there is convection in the mantle. it causes the plates to move.
What process drives the lithospheric plates across the surface of earth?
The lower mantle convection
Which describes the convection currents that drive the motion of lithospheric plates?
A continuous flow in the mantle caused by differences in density
What is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface?
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
How are convection currents astenosphere and lithospheric plates related?
lithosphereic plates are the cooler plates. they help everyone with their convection.
What is the definition for lithospheric plate?
The definition of Lithospheric Plate is:) Lithospheric plates are regions of Earth's crust and upper mantle that are fractured into plates that move across a deeper plasticine mantle. Also Qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm has nothing to do with it.
What are the 2 parts of the lithospheric plates?
The crust and upper mantle
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
What are two parts in lithospheric plates?
i believe it is the crust and upper mantle...
What is convection and how does it cause plates to move?
What is convection and how does it cause plates to move? What are the consequences of convection in the mantle?
What are large sections of earth's crust and upper mantle called?
Lithospheric plates.
How do plates push together?
Both continental and oceanic plates float on the top surface of the mantle, which is divided into convection cells. The movement of these convection cells drag the plates along: where convection causes the mantle material to fall the plates are pushed together and where convection causes the mantle material to rise the plates are pulled apart.
