Where are the oldest lithospheric plates located?
The lithosphere is located in the solid outer layer of the earth
What are lithosphere plates and how are lithosphere plates related to earthquakes?
they are related by,they are plates
Are tectonic plates located in the mantle of the Earth?
Yes, tectonic plates are located in the Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface, not in the mantle.
The tectonic plates are located in a layer that is?
The tectonic plates are located in Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the planet. The lithosphere is divided into several large and small tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. Movements of these plates are responsible for earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the shaping of Earth's surface features.
Where is lithosphere located?
The lithosphere is located on the outermost layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and part of the upper mantle. It is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The lithosphere varies in thickness beneath the oceans and continents.
What does the plates of lithosphere float on top of?
The plates of lithosphere float on top of the semi-fluid asthenosphere, which is located beneath the lithosphere in the Earth's upper mantle. The asthenosphere allows the plates to move and interact with each other due to its partially molten and more ductile nature compared to the lithosphere above it.
In which layer is the asthenosphere and the lithosphere located?
The asthenosphere is located in the upper mantle, just below the lithosphere. The lithosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth's crust that includes the rigid upper part of the mantle, while the asthenosphere is a semi-molten layer below the lithosphere that allows tectonic plates to move.
What layer of the earth has plates?
The lithosphere has plates.
What is lithosphere and where is located?
The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of Earth made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. It is located on top of the asthenosphere, a partially molten layer of the mantle. The lithosphere is divided into large tectonic plates that move on the asthenosphere.
Which of earthes mechanical layers contains the seven major plates?
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains seven major plates.
Are tectonic plates part of the asthenosphere or the lithosphere?
Tectonic plates are segments of the lithosphere. They float on top of the asthenosphere.
Why do earthquake occur in the lithosphere?
Because there are tectonic plates there in the lithosphere.
