What do the tectonic plates float on?
The tectonic plates, part of the lithosphere, move around and float on the top of the asthenosphere.
Why do tectonic plates float on the atmosphere?
They don't. Tectonic plates float on the asthenosphere, as they are a bit less dense.
What do the plates on the earth crust float on?
There called tectonic plates, and they do not float on anything.
What do the plates on the Earth's crust float on?

Do the plates float on the mantle?

What plates float on a underlying molten layer?
Tectonic plates float on an underlying molten layer.
Are tectonic plates part of the asthenosphere or the lithosphere?
Tectonic plates are segments of the lithosphere. They float on top of the asthenosphere.
What are the tectonic plates float on?
Tectonic plates float on the asthenosphere, which is a semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle. This allows the plates to move and interact with each other, causing geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What are the tectonic plates floating?
