what are plates apart of
The lithosphere is the part of the Earth that contains tectonic plates. These plates are divided pieces of the lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
Tectonic Plates.
plates are part of a mountain that makes it move
continents are tectonic plates! so.... yes!
Yes, the tectonic plates-both continental and oceanic- are part of the lithosphere.
Yes, tectonic plates are composed of the Earth's crust and part of the upper mantle. The movement of these plates is responsible for various geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Tectonic plates are segments of the lithosphere. They float on top of the asthenosphere.
The Earth's lithosphere, which consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, contains tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The movement of these plates is responsible for various geological activities, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains.
