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.
Earths lithosphere is made of huge pieces of solid rock is called ..?
Lithospheric plates.
What is a rigid layer made up of the crust and the upper part of the earths mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
About the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere has the ability to slow down seismic waves. Is not made up of earths plates that would be the lithosphere.
What is a rigid layer of the earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates

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.
What best describes what earths plates are made up of?
Earth's plates are made up of the rigid outer layer of the Earth's surface, known as the lithosphere. The lithosphere is composed of the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer beneath them, which allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
What is the force that probably propels the movement of the earths rock plates?
The earth is made up of multiple tectonic plates. These plates are propelled by convection in the mantle layer below the crust (lithosphere)
The lithosphere is broken into separate sections called what?
The lithosphere is broken into about 100 separate sections called tectonic or crustal plates. They are divided by faults which are very much like cracks between plates. These plates float on top of the asthenosphere. A rift valley is a deep valley that forms where two plates move apart.
