Which of earthes mechanical layers contains the seven major plates?
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains seven major plates.
Which of earths layers contains the seven major plates?
lithosphere
What is the lithosphere plate?
Of the seven major lithospheric plates, the Pacific is the largest.
What are lithosphere plates and how are lithosphere plates related to earthquakes?
they are related by,they are plates
Which earth mechanical layers contains the seven major plates?
The lithosphere (a combination of the crust and the uppermost brittle layer of the mantle) is divided into tectonic plates, including the seven major tectonic plates.
What mechanical layer contains the 7 major plates?
The 7 major tectonic plates are found within the lithosphere, which is the outermost mechanical layer of the Earth. The lithosphere encompasses both the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, providing a rigid structure that can shift and interact with other plates. This layer is divided into tectonic plates that float on the more fluid asthenosphere beneath it.
Is the lithosphere located in the plates why not?
Yes, the tectonic plates-both continental and oceanic- are part of the lithosphere.
What layer of the earth has plates?
The lithosphere has plates.
tectonic plates?
major and minor blocks in the lithosphere
Are tectonic plates part of the asthenosphere or the lithosphere?
Tectonic plates are segments of the lithosphere. They float on top of the asthenosphere.
How many minor tectonic plates are there on Earth?
There are around 15-20 minor tectonic plates on Earth, in addition to the major plates that comprise the Earth's lithosphere. These minor plates are smaller in size compared to the major plates and play a role in the movement and dynamics of tectonic activity.
Why do earthquake occur in the lithosphere?
Because there are tectonic plates there in the lithosphere.
