What sections of Earth's crust ad upper mantle?

That would be the lithosphere. This is broken into sections known as lithospheric (or tectonic) plates.


What is it called when lithosphere is broken into separate sections?

tectonic plates or you could say plate tectonics


According to the theory of plate tectonics which layer of earth is broken into separate sections called plates?

The Earth's lithosphere is broken into separate sections called plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and move due to the heat-driven convection currents below them.


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.


The lithosphere is broken up into sections called?

The lithosphere is broken up into sections called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below and interact with one another at plate boundaries, where most earthquakes and volcanic activity occur.


Which layer is broken into sections called plates?

The layer of the Earth that is broken into sections called plates is the lithosphere. The lithosphere encompasses the rigid outer part of the Earth, including the crust and the upper mantle. These tectonic plates float on the more fluid asthenosphere beneath them, leading to geological activities such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions as they interact with one another.
