What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
A crack in the earths crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called a?
Fault.
The lithosphere is broken into pieces called what?
what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
The crust and lithosphere are the outermost layers of the earth and?
consist of large sections called tectonic plates, which move relative to each other.
Why is tectonic plate movement still called the theory of plate tectonic movement?
Because a theory in everyday life is different than a theory in science. This site explains it well: look at link below.
What is the theory thay explains how large pieces of earths outermost layer called tectonic plates move and change shape?
Continental Drift and the study of Plate Tectonics.

What is the theory that explains how large pieces of Earths outermost layer move around?
It's called 'plate tectonics' - and explains that the Earth's crust is composed of large pieces (or plates) that 'glide' over the molten mantle beneath.
When tectonic plates move and slip what are they called in earths crush?
They are called earthquakes.

Tectonic Plates
What are the slabs of rock called in the earths hard shell?
Tectonic plates
What are plates that are part of the earths outer layer called?
Tectonic Plates.
A crack in the earths crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called a?
Fault.
What is it called when earths plates move together?
Tectonic convergence, or something like that.
The outermost rigid layer of the earth is called?
The outermost rigid layer of the earth is called the crust.
What do the plates that form the earths crust float on?
There called tectonic plates, and they do not float on anything.
