What layers of the earth compose the earths plates?
upper part of the mantle and end of the crust.
What layer of the earth forms the earths plates?
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
What do earths tectonic plates do?
The plates (continental and ocean plates) ride atop the asthenosphere, a layer of viscous rock in the upper mantle beneath the crust.
What is a rigid layer made up of the crust and the upper part of the earths mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
What is rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates

What part of the earths mantle that flows and moves the plates of the earth?
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
What is The scientific name for the earths upper mantle?
The scientific name for the Earth's upper mantle is "asthenosphere." It is a layer of the Earth located beneath the lithosphere and is characterized by its partially molten state, which allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
What are two parts in lithospheric plates?
i believe it is the crust and upper mantle...
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.
