Which two processes do scientists think move the earths lithospheric plates?
bruh
Does a tidal drift cause lithospheric plates to move constantly?
No, tidal drift is caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun on Earth's oceans, and it does not directly cause the movement of lithospheric plates. The movement of lithospheric plates is driven by the convection currents in the mantle beneath the Earth's crust.
What happens to lithospheric plates when an earthquake occurs?
When an earthquake occurs, lithospheric plates either slide past each other, collide, or move apart along their boundaries. The stress accumulated along the plate boundaries is released suddenly, causing the plates to deform and generate seismic waves that we feel as an earthquake.
The lithosphere is broken into pieces called what?
what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
Plasticlike layer of Earth on which the lithosperic plates float and move around?
The plasticlike layer of Earth is the asthenosphere. It is a zone of the upper mantle where rock is soft and capable of gradual flow. The lithospheric plates float and move on top of the asthenosphere, contributing to the movement of tectonic plates.

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 might the plasticity of the mantle influence the movement of the earths lithospheric plates?
Plasticity means that there is enough movement in the asthenosphere to allow thelithospheric plates to move.
What does the lithospheric plates move on?
Aesthenosphere
Do lithospheric plates move often?
They constantly move. EDIT: Lithospheric plates move only about a few centimeters a year. Hope this helps! ~SLL
Do lithospheric plates constantly move?
Yes.
What is it called when two lithospheric plates move apart?
Continental Plates
Do lithospheric plates move quickly or slowly?
Lithospheric plates move relatively slowly, at rates ranging from a few millimeters to a few centimeters per year, depending on the specific plate and location. This movement is driven by the process of plate tectonics, where plates interact at their boundaries through processes like subduction, seafloor spreading, and continental collision.
How do the lithospheric plates move each year?
5 centimeters.
The lithospheric plates move an average of?
5 centimeters per year
What do lithospheric plate movements have to do with convection?
there is convection in the mantle. it causes the plates to move.
How often do lithospheric plates move?
Lithospheric plates move constantly at a very slow rate, typically around a few centimeters per year. This movement is driven by the slow convection currents in the Earth's mantle, causing the plates to either diverge, converge, or slide past each other at plate boundaries.
